Invited Service Review |
|
The RCP is establishing a pool of visitors
to take part in Invited service reviews
around the country. Invited service Reviews
take place at the request of the management
of an NHS Trust or a Fellow or Member of the
RCP when there is a particular issue which
is proving hard to resolve or on which they
require independent advice. The visiting ISR
team analyses the situation via interviews
with trust staff. Feedback and a full report
are made within two months. |
|
|
|
Individuals are being sought from a range of
health disciplines, including medicine and
nursing. You must be in active practice in
healthcare, be prepared to travel and be
able to take part in at least one review per
year (2-3 full days with overnight stays,
plus ½ - 1 day for preparation). |
