Red Tape Challenge – complete survey on the interface

As part of NHS England’s rapid review into bureaucracy across the NHS, clinical and non-clinical staff working in primary care are being encouraged to get involved and share their views. A short seven-question survey is now available for staff to complete to feed into this important programme that aims to improve interface working and reduce workload between NHS organisations and providers.

The ‘Red Tape Challenge’ was announced by the Secretary of State and NHS Chief Executive in October and is jointly led by Dr Claire Fuller and Stella Vig, medical directors for Primary Care and Secondary Care at NHS England respectively. It builds on and accelerates existing activity to improve the interface between primary and secondary care, such as how referrals are made and managed, patient discharge and how different parts of the health service communicate with each other.
