The interim Accelerated Access Review report can help NHS Confederation members to innovate
Rob Webster, Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation, responded to the interim Accelerated Access Review report published this week.
“Innovation is crucial to the future of our NHS, and most importantly for improving patient care. With increased pressures on our health service, ensuring patients have access to the latest clinically effective and cost effective technologies and treatments is crucial for delivering the best care. This must go hand in hand with the rapid decommissioning of ineffective and inefficient treatments.
“We’ve seen good engagement from many of our members in this process so far and the interim report helps to identify high-level solutions to challenges our members face in trying to innovate for the benefit of patients. The ultimate test of this review will be whether the final recommendations can be implemented rapidly, leading to improved delivery. This will require good engagement of our members in the next stage of the process and full integration with the mainstream business processes of the NHS. As one of the Champions of the review, I believe we have a chance to make this a reality.”
