[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1492169, member: 410240"] Stockport is at present doing a big project looking at how the hospital, community based care (GPs etc) and social care can be integrated so as to save money and improve the services for clients. For example there is now consultants roistered to sit by phones so that GPs can phone up for instant advice while the client is still with the GP. So far everything that has been looked to improve patient pathways and experience have also resulted in expected costs savings (sometimes a few years down the line in avoiding costly admissions for chopping logs off etc.) My wife is the costing accountant at the hospital (PLC and SLR) and she has done some of the work on this, so it is very interesting now seeing the processes from the other side and she being able to validate the data she has been given based on my experiences. Sadly it is still white middle class people who are able to understand how the services work that get the best service from the NHS, just know the name of the service (or consultant) that will benefit you can cut out many months of delays. Asking a few leading questions of a health service practitioner so they then think something is their ideal can get very good results…….. [/QUOTE]
