The Clinical Services Advisory Unit provides advice and support to our BAD members and their departments on a number of service issues and changes brought about by NHS reforms.
                           
The BAD Clinical Services Advisory team is made up our Clinical Services Manager, Tania von Hospenthal and two Committees along with the support of our 13 regional representatives. This wealth of experience and knowledge provides us with an excellent resource to advice and support our members on the following issues:

• Service changes – reconfigurations / improved models of care
  
• Targets and how to meet them
  
• Policy changes within the NHS e.g. PbR, Choose & Book
  
• Preparation and presentation of business cases
  
• Building relationships across the health economy
  
• Mediation service for BAD members
  
• Cancer service issues
  
• Private Practice issues

Experience has taught us that often the solution to a problem is easier to find if we can help early in the process rather than when a crisis subsequently develops. It is also equally beneficial to hear from our members when things are going well, so we can share relevant advice with other members. Please rest assured that any issues of confidentiality will be respected.
