British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons

In the current unprecedented times, the fast moving information tsunami is impossible to follow comprehensively and contemporaneously. 

Advice to our members is to monitor the official information sources in England and the devolved nations for the latest information.  In that context we hope that the below will be useful.

This project that is now being rolled out nationally across many specialities started with a pilot review of Orthopaedic services across England. The original report published in late 2012 suggested changes can be made to improve pathways of care, patient experience, and outcomes with significant cost savings. It was followed by a more in depth approach that reported in 2015. The pilot project was led by Prof Tim Briggs who was subsequently appointed as the National Director for Clinical Quality and Efficiency and now leads the GIRFT Project across all the specialities.
