Joint chronologies common approach: Evaluation report (Pan Lothian Partnership)

The Pan Lothian chronologies working group was established by NHS Lothian in collaboration with NHS National Services Scotland in 2018. This evaluation report covers their work in developing, testing, and implementing a chronologies tool. Key findings on improving work in chronologies include: the importance of a collaborative and multi-agency approach; realism about timescales; a shared commitment to improving consistency; and a willingness to embrace new ways of working. The report also covers challenges and recommendations for future chronologies work. It accompanies the templates and guides, also published by the Pan-Lothian Partnership.
