Patient Choice

Dr Foster - supporting you to make Choice work

For more than two years, Dr Foster has supported pilots across the country to deliver Patient Choice, from policy design through to implementation.

Our research in this area shows that the successful implementation of Patient Choice depends on:

• PCTs offering clear and concise information to GPs and patients about how Choice works
• Acute trusts providing accurate and accessible information on hospital performance and procedures
• A clear understanding of local communities and user needs, including local referral patterns
• Training for practice staff so they can assist GPs

For a step-by-step guide packed with everything clinicians and managers need to know to make Patient Choice a reality, please download our Patient Choice workbook.

Dr Foster can equip you with the information and tools to ensure your organisation thrives in this new Choice-driven environment. To find out in which way we can help you, please click on one of the following links:
