We would welcome your comments on the draft document titled All Wales Shared Care Framework and the associated Equality and Health Impact Assessment (EqHIA) form.
The document aims to ensure consistency in shared care across Wales in terms of principles, application of developing and reviewing shared care arrangements, and in taking a patient-centred approach to shared care.
The document was developed following input from a Shared Care Short Life Working Group (SLWG), comprising stakeholders from health boards, primary and secondary care, and included lay representation. The updated document includes a set of shared care principles, criteria for medicines suitable for shared care, patient-centred considerations, clear details of roles and responsibilities for all involved, a draft decision support flow diagram, and a patient information leaflet. The document was considered by members of the All Wales Prescribing Advisory Group and updated to incorporate changes before being disseminated for public consultation.
The document and associated EqHIA form and feedback form can be accessed below.
