Providers Deliver: tackling the care backlog

This is a new four-part series of podcasts from NHS Providers, highlighting how trusts are responding with commitment and ingenuity to the challenges of tackling care and treatment backlogs.

Over four weeks (19 May-9 June) the Providers Deliver: tackling the care backlog podcast series has showcased how hospital, mental health, community and ambulance trusts, in very different areas of the country, are working in new ways to ease backlogs and, through early intervention, tackle the rising demands for treatment.

We hear contributions from 30 experts, including trust leaders, clinicians and partner organisations about how these new approaches are making a real difference for patients, families and service users.

We started with episode one: How is the NHS tackling the care backlog? which sets the scene, followed by episode two: Tackling mental health backlogs, episode three: Tackling hospital backlogs and finally episode 4: Tackling community and ambulance services backlogs is available on 9 June 2022.
