Have your say on hospital outpatient services
The team behind the Sustainability & Transformation Plan (STP) for South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw is holding a workshop later this month to explore what is and isn’t possible when it comes to providing outpatient services in our region.
They are keen to hear the views of both the public and patients at the session. Your involvement could be sharing your positive experiences, providing constructive suggestions and being a patient/public voice within the discussions. There will be doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at the event, along with managers.
The workshop takes place in Rotherham at the New York Stadium on Friday 30 June from 9am to 12pm and refreshments will be available.
Please note that places are limited and the deadline for booking a place is Monday 26 June.
Areas being discussed at the workshop are:
- what sort of advice and guidance people and GPs want and need when it comes to referrals, guidelines, thresholds, reviews and triage
- ensuring everyone has the same access to NHS commissioned care across SYB
- improving how we do things in outpatients – we know we’re not always efficient and want to look at how we can do more closer to where people live
- how can we improve information available for patients, especially in an ever growing digital world.
In addition to taking part in the discussions, you will be able to look at and comment on some of the good practice that’s happening in our region.
