Getting It Right First Time
Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) is an NHS improvement programme. Dr Martin Allen is the respiratory workstream lead for the GIRFT programme.
Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) and NHS England’s Outpatient Recovery and Transformation (OPRT) programme have added advice for respiratory and sleep medicine teams to their range of guidance highlighting actions services can take to tackle escalating demand for outpatient appointments.
The guidance pulls together a concise summary of available advice which can help to reduce long waits for appointments and improve patient care.
