Staff information

It is important that consistency is achieved across Wales in both measuring and recording results.

For information on  requirements, processes and measuring technique, please refer to the CMP Standards (which describes what is required) and the Guidelines (information on how Health Boards will meet the standards).

Staff are advised to consult their local version of the guidelines, as these may contain examples of local letter templates, local processes, policies and guidelines (e.g. local processes for feedback of results, copies of local letter templates, follow up expectations, referral policies and other local resources).
