Have your say on local outpatient services

Andrew Elves, Clinical Lead for the Outpatients Transformation Programme, said: “Covid-19 had a significant impact on services which has led to longer waits for many patients, and a rapidly increasing waiting list, particularly for people waiting for outpatient appointments.

“With people also living longer, which is to be celebrated, we are seeing the need for these services continuing to increase.

“We are looking at how we can tackle this growing challenge by making changes to our outpatient services to provide care in new ways, reduce the need for unnecessary trips to hospital, and free up our doctors’ and nurses’ time to help more patients.

“To do this right, we need to involve and listen to our residents and people who have used our services.”
