This module also touches on ‘the five case model’, which you will be able to use when creating your own NHS business case. Many people know how to create a standard ‘business case’, but very few understand how to create an NHS/healthcare ‘business case.’
Finally, the pathway mapping section of this module is a key part for you to think about how your proposal contributes to the achievement of NHS policy/priorities and trust objectives and plans.
