The Need for Specialist Consultants
The Health and Social Care Act has created a new landscape for healthcare provision and purchasing with new providers and greater competition. There will be greater local public accountability and better integration of health and social care. The Nicholson Challenge will require service redesign and greater efficiency saving. CCGs will need to involve patients in redesigning care pathways. Health and Wellbeing Boards will need to influence the public to lead healthier life styles. 'No decision about me without me' - a small shift in patient referrals, particularly from those living on the edge of the catchment area can make a significant difference to Trust income and profitability.
- As a CCG how do you involve patients in service redesign, while improving efficiency of commissioning and outcomes?
- As a member of a Health and Wellbeing Board how can you influence the public to lead healthier life styles? Reducing obesity, diabetes etc
- How can you influence patients to choose your Trust and not another one?
What do you need to do to attract more patients? See NHS marketing publications - How do you attract pharma and technology companies to conduct commercial research? See our case study
- As an independent provider/NHS private ward how do you attract patients?
- Are your patients having a positive experience and are you satisfying them? What improvements could be made? - Service redesign, enhanced customer care? See HSJ article
- How do you implement a patient centred approach into your Trust?
- Are you going for Foundation Trust status?
Do you need strategic marketing input into your application and afterwards in your Trust?
