Things about care models...
NHS confederation have just published "New care models and staff engagement: All aboard" This publication brings together the experiences of four vanguards which are placing staff at the centre of new care models. The vanguards featured recognise that those on the front line of care have the best ideas about how to improve it – but need to feel empowered to do so.
