Outpatient Transformation: Right Care, Right Place, Right Time
For this virtual session, we’ll focus on how we’re transforming outpatient care to make it simpler, safer and more convenient for patients, their families and our staff.
Across the NHS and at MFT, new technologies are supporting clinicians, improving patient experiences and helping us deliver safer, more effective care. From AI-assisted cancer screening to digital tools that connect patients more closely with their care, technology is opening up new possibilities for healthcare.
During this session, you’ll hear about some of the exciting developments taking place across the Trust and how we are ensuring innovation is introduced safely and responsibly.
We know that many people can face long waits for appointments and may not always feel clear about what happens next in their care.
Our ambition is simple – Every patient receives the right care, in the right place, at the right time, with clear information about what happens next.
During the session, you’ll hear about:
- Right Place, First Time – Making sure patients can access the most appropriate care without unnecessary delays.
- Every Appointment Counts – Making the best use of appointments, so patients receive timely care and support.
- Informed Patients, Clear Next Steps – Providing clearer information and communication so patients know what to expect and what happens next.
You will also hear about the progress being made and have the opportunity to put your questions directly to colleagues leading this work.
