Designing the service around the patient

A nurse-led rheumatology team has cut waiting times and improved clinical outcomes by moving a hospital-based service into the community and redesigning it to meet patients’ needs. Led by rheumatology nurse specialist Sarah Critchley, the team from Pennine MSK Partnership has replaced a reactive service with one that is systematic and holistic. The team won the Nursing Standard Community Nursing Award earlier this month.
