Help needed: Workforce & Equipment Survey
10 August 2022
Workforce and Equipment Survey
As you may know, the former CCGs (E+N Herts, Herts Valleys and West Essex) have now merged to become Herts & West Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB). We have been asked by them to provide some information around practice equipment and workforce skills across the area.
We are really keen for all practices to respond to this survey as we hope it will strengthen our push for commissioned services in our areas, although nothing can be guaranteed, of course. This data will be held by us for future use and some of the data will be shared with the ICB, but only in numbers, not personal details. You will NOT be committing to anything now or in the future. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have on this at Admin@HertsLOC.org.uk
The survey can be found HERE.
We appreciate your time filling in the survey, which we would like you to submit by 10pm on Sunday 14th August, please.
Many thanks for your help with this.
Kind regards
Herts LOC
