Hello I've been asked by one of our Trust's senior managers to find examples of how other Trusts manage production of their local policies, protocols, guidelines etc. These might relate, for example, to risk management, human resources, clinical guidelines and protocols etc. They are interested in the process of producing official documents, particularly the pathway/s for ratification, but also what quality measures are specified in their production, how are they kept current, disseminated and so on. I hope that some of you may have examples of a policy on policies from your own organization that you could send to me, so we can avoid reinventing the wheel and get ideas for good practice. Many thanks for any help you are able to give, Sue ApThomas Knowledge Services Manager The Library The Knowledge Spa Treliske Truro TR1 3HD Tel 01872 256445 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this e-mail and any attachments is confidential and is intended for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
