Healthcare Improvement Scotland have developed a new set of draft indicators of the quality of hepatitis C services in Scotland. They have also produced a supporting document, “Information for Patients and the Public”, which gives a two-page summary of the indicators in plain English. These documents along with more information about this work are now available for download and comment from their website at:
www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org
They would particularly welcome comment from Scottish people with hepatitis C, carers and their advocates. Comments on any aspect of the indicators are welcome but they would be especially grateful to know:
- Based on your experiences of hepatitis C services, what needs to improve?
- Do the proposed indicators reflect what is important to you?
If you would like us to attend a meeting of your group or organisation to discuss the indicators, or if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Scott Horton at hcis.hepc@nhs.net. Please note the deadline for submitting comments is Friday, 18 November 2011.
