Key Discussion Points

  • Dan updated on the YIC pricing matrix, noting that research was done into all trusts payment systems, outsourcing companies and some international prices to produce the pricing matrix.
  • It was suggested to look into any protocols which had outliers to produce more standardisation.
  • DOFs have agreed to run payment for additional work to fit with payroll cut off dates for 6 months, to then review.
  • A paid role to lead the REALM group will be advetised. A functional process for REALM needs to be established.
  • The group agreed that Intelerad would be useful for prepping MDT meetings.

  • The grouo agreed to focus on formalising urology training across the region and research opportunities.
