Isle’s outpatients asked to contribute to survey
Bosses at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust are creating 15 new speciality administration teams.
These staff will act as a single point of contact for patients, to hopefully improve the appointments process from the initial referral through to the patient attending an appointment.
