Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at on 22 February 2023.
The Versus Arthritis support package was tested by the Golden Jubilee national hospital around orthopaedic pathways. Following that, a proposal was submitted to the centre for sustainable delivery and our planned care improvement programme, which is now being considered as part of the waiting well workstream within the preventative and proactive care programme. Versus Arthritis is a member of the waiting well steering group, and the improvement areas that it has highlighted, such as communication, will be taken forward as part of that workstream. That will include monitoring of how waiting well is implemented.
