Dear colleague
You are invited to attend the validation session for the Equality Impact Assessments (EQIA) of NHS North West London's proposed changes to prescribing, “ Choosing wisely: changing the way we prescribe ”.
It has been rescheduled because the original date coincided with that of the NHS Harrow CCG Governing Body meeting.
The EQIA validation session will now take place on 8 August 2017 .
We apologise for the inconvenience.
You are invited to attend the rescheduled validation session at the following place and time:
Address: Harrow Baptist Church, College Rd, Harrow HA1 1BA
Date: 8 August 2017
Time: 2.00-4.00pm
Background
NHS North West London recently engaged with stakeholders around three proposals to change the way we prescribe in the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.
An equality impact assessment was undertaken by independent provider Public Health Action Support Team (PHAST) as part of the process.
This validation session will examine the EQIA report and its recommendations to ensure they accurately reflect the feedback contributed during the Choosing Wisely engagement process.
Interested stakeholders and members of the public are welcome to attend.
More details about the proposals are available at https://www.healthiernorthwestlondon.nhs.uk/news/2017/06/12/choosing-wisely-changing-way-we-prescribe
Please RSVP media@nw.london.nhs.uk and advise if you have any accessibility requests.
Last year the NHS in North West London spent more than £15 million on products that could easily be bought on the high street, often at very low cost. We think that it would make sense for most people to buy these products at the chemist or supermarket, to save NHS funds. We’ve put together three proposals on the theme of “changing the way we prescribe”.
See our poster and leaflet for more information.
We really want to hear your views before the decision is made. Please visit our short choosing wisely survey and have your say before 30 June 2017.
