#PAHTPeople - making a difference
A huge congratulations to Dr Andrea Annoni, clinical director for urgent and emergency care, who has been appointed as the Integrated Care System clinical lead for the east of England.
Andrea will work closely with NHS England and Improvement and national teams to implement the new clinical reviews of access standards.
The new initiative will help to ensure that patients are seen by the right service, in the right place, at the right time. This is a fantastic opportunity and will support us to implement the new reviews process, in line with the national guidance.
Patient at home manager awarded distinction in Masters of Business Administration
Congratulations to Hiral Patel, patient at home manager, who has recently been awarded a distinction in her Masters of Business Administration - a fantastic achievement.
Hiral's dissertation focused on the integration of services, collaborative practice and how the integrated care system structure supports systemic challenges.
This will support Hiral in her role to further improve our services for our patients and people.
