Scheduled Care Network
The Access Programme have established a Scheduled Care Network to build a community of people who will share their knowledge, experience and expertise to enhance the delivery of scheduled care.
The purpose of this network is to:
- Establish a dedicated network to improve communication and training, and provide access to relevant information, tools, and expertise;
- Enhance access to, and delivery of scheduled care by supporting the implementation of the Waiting List Action Plan (WLAP); and
- Incorporating insights from patient experiences to drive continuous improvement.
To enable this, we will be running regular webinars to provide helpful information, tools and insights to support staff to achieve the targets set out in the Waiting List Action Plan (WLAP).
