NHS England, with the support of the British Medical Association and the National Association of Patient Participation, has produced a leaflet about changes in the NHS standard contract which require hospitals to take responsibility for certain aspects of care.
Members of the national working group and, specifically, NHS England, British Medical Association (BMA) and the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP), have come together again to produce a print ready patient facing leaflet (colour) and patient leaflet (black and white), so that patients know what they can expect to happen if they are referred by their GP to see a specialist or consultant at a hospital or a community health centre. The leaflets have been made available on the NHS Choices website.
