Potential clinical models for our future hospital services
This section describes the clinical models that we have developed so far. We welcome your views on these models of care and how to make the best decisions for Worcestershire.
Local doctors and nurses have highlighted which of the clinical models they believe to be safe and achievable and those that are considered to be unsafe or not able to meet future minimum quality standards, with reasons for these.
In every clinical model we are committed to providing facilities to treat minor injuries, outpatients and some diagnostic services in each local area where these services are currently located, to keep services as local as possible.

The short-listing criteria
Local doctors, nurses and other health and social care professionals, along with public and patient representatives have developed a set of criteria that will be used at the short-listing stage to assess and compare the different models we’ve just described. They have weighted the criteria according to how important they think they are. The models will also be subject to a financial assessment to make sure they are affordable.
Our clinicians and public and patient representatives think that some of the criteria are more important than others and have weighted them accordingly. This weighting will be applied to the decision making process.
