PEOPLE FIRST: a response from health and care leaders to the urgent and emergency care system crisis

https://stratus.campaign-image.eu/images/32883000012916008_zc_v1_1686064831012_cqc.jpg

Earlier this year the CQC published PEOPLE FIRS T , an online resource designed to help system leaders and service providers in the design of person-centred urgent and emergency care services. They also hope it will help encourage innovation across integrated care systems.

The CQC would like to understand the awareness and application of PEOPLE FIRST. Even if you haven't heard of, or used PEOPLE FIRST, we'd like you to take this survey, by Friday 14 July 2023 .
