Advancing Individual Funding Requests – Towards Consistency and Clarity Across the NHS
About the event
On our interactive webinar we explored the latest on Individual Funding Requests (IFR) across NHS Midlands and Lancashire. We delved into the new IFR draft process policy document, shared practical insights, and discussed key challenges and system-wide considerations.
Why it’s important
Individual Funding Requests (IFR) play a key role in ensuring patients receive the care they need when standard pathways aren’t suitable. With a new draft process policy document in development and a growing need for a consistent approach across multiple ICBs, it’s vital for everyone involved to understand the process, tackle challenges, and clarify key issues, leading to continued and sustained improvement in IFR delivery.
