This webinar will bring together those on the frontline delivery of services and patient perspectives, together with expert opinion and emerging evidence.
Unwarranted variation (or geographic variation) in health care service delivery refers to differences that cannot be explained by personal preference, illness, medical need, or the dictates of evidence-based medicine.
Unwarranted variation is widespread throughout the UK, affecting patient outcomes, service costs and overall productivity. Lord Carter highlighted an opportunity to save up to £5bn in his 2016 report.
This webinar will ask:
- How bad is unwarranted variation – what are the latest insights?
- How has Covid impacted unwarranted variation and inequalities in health outcomes?
- What is the latest learning and data from GIRFT and how is it being applied by the Best MSK health collaborative?
- What more can be done to improve outcomes and tackle waiting lists?
