CPSC encourages contractors to participate in the following survey from NHSE&I:
COVID-19 has changed healthcare delivery in the UK and in response new and innovative ways of working have been rapidly developed across the NHS. As we move into the next phase of NHS recovery, NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) wants to ensure beneficial changes to care are captured and embedded in our services so that future patients benefit over the next 12 months and beyond. Input is being sought from all clinicians, including pharmacy.
We want to hear from pharmacy colleagues across the South East, so that all the great improvements and innovations can be identified and retained in the longer term. We also want any innovations to be subject to continual improvement, ongoing learning and evaluation. The link below takes you to a survey that asks the following four questions:
1. What beneficial innovations/changes have occurred in your specialty and within patient pathways?
2. Please describe the impact of these innovations/ changes (e.g. population health outcome, patient outcome, safety, wider system, efficiency, productivity). How did you measure the benefit?
3. What is needed to sustain the change?
4. What, if anything, hasn’t worked so well?
The national NHSE&I pharmacy team will be collating and reviewing all responses relevant to the world of pharmacy and medicines and there will be a separate process for patient and carer engagement to ensure they are also involved.
The final deadline for submissions will be 30th June 2020.
