Statement on Choose and Book Keywords & Clinic Types
16 October 2006
BSR has been working with the Choose and Book Specialty Working Group for the last year defining clinic types and key words. We are therefore disappointed that changes have now been made to the key words and clinical types without consultation. We are further concerned that the changes have resulted in errors which means that BSR in now unable to endorse the list.
We are continuing our discussions with the Choose and Book team and hope this situation can be resolved satisfactorily. In the interim we recommend that consultants do not attempt to populate their local Directories of Service and advise their Acute Trust managers that they should not do so either.
