What's currently hot?

We have recently added a ‘What’s Hot’ section to our HeLLO website. This is designed to keep staff up-to-date with the evidence on projects the Trust is particularly interested in developing or implementing.

Current hot topics include:

• 7-day working
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
• Clinical Strategy
• Foundation Trust Application
• Patient Handover
• Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

If you want a new hot topic added to the collection, email richard.bridgen@ulh.nhs.uk.
