All about the NHS
The Department of Health has produced a guide to the NHS for members and
officers of health scrutiny committees. According to DOH "This guide to the
NHS provides an insight into the NHS in the 21st century. It explains how
it works; how it is monitored, regulated and inspected; its priorities and
targets and the key drivers for partnership working. It also includes an A
Z of financial terms used and an A-Z of the NHS".
Although produced for a different audience I though some us could benefit
from this excellent document. The document can be downloaded from
http://www.doh.gov.uk/involvingpatients/guidance.htm
The document is 117 pages long and appears very comprehensive. I am still
in the process of reading through the sheets of paper. Hope some of you
(especially colleagues in other health systems) find this posting of
interest.
