Teams across NHS Lanarkshire are being asked to consider project bids for this year’s Scottish Government’s realistic medicine team’s value improvement bids.
Given the ongoing pressures on our health services, there has been an extension to the original deadline to 5pm on Friday 11 February.
Dr Babu Mukhopadhyay, consultant physician and endocrinologist and clinical lead on NHS Lanarkshire’s realistic medicine team, commented: “Our teams are being encouraged to consider projects that would help with progressing shared decision making with our patients. Recognising the importance of two-way conversations with our patients, the bids could potentially include sourcing new equipment, creating new advanced processes or the appointment of staff who can help develop patient communications.”
A slideshow showing the timescales is available on FirstPort at http://firstport2/staff-support/knowledge-services/public-health/Staff Emails/VIF timeline for Dec bids 2021.pptx Please share with your teams.
