  • The physical condition survey results were analysed and reported upon by application of the DoH 'risk-based methodology for establishing and managing backlog'.


The approach

  • An agreed programme was established for access to all areas for carrying out the physical condition survey.
  • A programme of interviews was arranged with clinical staff to consider the functional suitability, space utilisation and quality facets.


The challenge

Outcome

  • All surveys and interviews were completed without impacting upon the Trust's clinical activities.
  • The information was provided as required to inform the Trust's strategic planning.
