Today, we’re launching our ‘Prescription for outpatients: reimagining planned specialist care’ in partnership with the @patientsassoc.bsky.social.

Outpatient services are not fit for purpose – improving this vital part of the #NHS must be a focus of the 10-year plan: ow.ly/VoqK50VBrBi

📢 We’re recruiting for three focus groups that will discuss patient views and experiences of physician associates. The findings of the focus groups will feed into the Leng Review on an ongoing basis. Register your interest in the project:
