Description

A literature review is required to inform a programme of work related to the post-COVID recovery of services. The review will help to identify opportunities for improvement, innovation and service redesign. The review should specifically address: • Approaches to back logs, waiting lists and prioritisation • Root causes of inequitable access to cardiac surgery • Collaborative working and systems to improve efficiency • Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic. The review should identify valuable lessons from what has already been tried and tested along with findings from published research, evaluation and analysis. The work will be used to inform modelling and stakeholder engagement. The review should include published research, evaluation and analytical findings as well as grey literature.
