With a record 7.1m people in England waiting for NHS hospital treatment and winter pressures already hitting hard, tackling the NHS backlog is a huge challenge which requires a system wide approach.

2023/24 priorities and operational planning guidance, released on Christmas Eve, sets out the most critical, evidence-based actions that will support delivery of the three priorities over the coming year: recover core services and productivity; as we recover, make progress in delivering the key ambitions in the Long Term Plan (LTP), and; continue transforming the NHS for the future.

This timely webinar will help commissioners and NHS Leaders plan for elective recovery by taking into account a new improvement framework for MSK, released 10 January.

 

This webinar will debate

  • Planning guidance – key priorities and practical tips
  • New MSK improvement framework – it’s impact on elective care
  • BestMSK Health – how BestMSK aims to help long waiters – opportunities and challenges for local implementation
  • Learn from commissioners – How guidance has been put into practice and eased elective recovery
