NHS: Optimising Care Pathways

A man and woman sit in chairs, engaged in conversation while waiting in a spacious waiting room.

The NHS is grappling with extraordinary challenges, including surging demand for services, a significant backlog of patients awaiting care, shrinking budgets, and an overburdened workforce. To aid healthcare professionals in navigating these turbulent times, the Oxford Value and Stewardship Programme has crafted an action learning set designed to help you enhance your care pathways.

This initiative aims to boost patient outcomes, tackle disparities, and make the best use of available resources.

Under the leadership of Sir Muir Gray, the OVSP team will collaborate with you to develop evidence-based care pathway optimisation templates. These templates will assist you in pinpointing and evaluating low-value activities that can be phased out, allowing you to redirect resources towards higher-value endeavours. The action learning set includes:

  • A four-hour workshop (virtual or in person) for up to 30 people
  • Online learning programme (5 hours of content) for up to 30 people
  • Two advisory check-ins over a two month period to discuss progress

By the end of the action learning set, your team will have concrete plans that can be used to optimise your care pathways in addition to at least 9 hours of learning that can be self-accredited for CPD.
