Liaison Workforce Event

Following NHS England’s plan for trusts to move a minimum of 5% of patients on to PIFU pathways, find out how Norfolk and Norwich University Healthcare NHS Trust (NNUH) embedded PIFU and saved over 29,000 appointments in one year. In this Liaison Group webinar, NNUH will share how they worked with Infinity Health and DrDoctor to roll out PIFU across 30 specialties, giving patients flexibility over their follow-up appointments and reducing the unnecessary appointments that patients and clinicians attend. Digital health tools, integrated with the trust’s PAS, supported the clinical teams to review patients on PIFU pathways remotely, managing the risk of patients not following-up, and enabled patients to book their appointments digitally.

Infinity Health’s Clinical Director, Dr Jo Garland, will share how Infinity worked with the trust and their patient portal partners, DrDoctor, to take the outpatients transformation at NNUH beyond the basics to a more advanced model.
