Patient Choice and the Right to Choose.

To support patients on waiting lists, there is a national initiative called Right to Choose. 

Right to Choose gives patients the opportunity to be involved in the decision-making of where they can receive treatment, which could involve being seen at a different hospital or, when appropriate, by a private provider under the NHS.

The information on this page aims to help organisations who wish to work with NHS Devon in delivering care to patients with the appropriate accreditation process.

Providers are asked to read the Right To Choose Provider Accreditation Policy and supporting information.

Further information for patients about Right To Choose and Patient Choice is available on our website.
