Support

Delivering high-quality patient care relies on smooth and consistent collaboration across the healthcare system. Interface working – the point where care moves from one part of the system to another – is often where delays, confusion or duplicated effort can occur.

Registrations

Routine patient list cleansing (or list reconciliation) in the NHS operates on a continuous 3-year cycle. This means a third of all practices in England are formally requested to validate and reconcile their lists every year.
