What are my Services?A Simple Example
Just three clinics run by three consultants Mr Brown specialises in Arms but sees general cases too;
Mr Green does Legs and general cases; Mr White does Heads and general cases One service would mean that Mr White might get Arm cases Six services but general case has arbitrary choice to make Four services Arms; Legs; Heads; General (pooled)
Arms, Legs and Heads may be Clinic Types but if not use Service name; Service Specific Guidance; Keywords etc to channel referrals

Ability to discuss their treatment options so that they experience a more personalised health service
Greater convenience and certainty reducing the stress of referral Choice of a place, date and time that suits them, enabling them to
fit their treatment in with their life, not the other way around
