We’ve created a new section of the Portal that contains resources to help improve the standards of emotional support provided in clinics.
These resources include the Patient Support Pathway and good practice examples shared by clinicians on how changes in policy and ways of working can make noticeable improvements to the standard of emotional care for patients.
Over time we will continue to add more to this page. Later this year we have plan to include examples of patient support policies as well as holding a series of online training sessions on patient support.
If anyone would like to provide their own examples of best practice to be included on this new section, please contact policy@hfea.gov.uk.
