We work with
- MOHAWK, the Health at Work quality indicator system
- We have worked with HDWU ( Health and Work Development Unit) of the Royal College of Physicians, who have attended LCOHP meetings to present their results and gain grass roots feedback.
Other regions in England have used LCOHP audit tools to support similar audits in their areas such as, North East audit group and Trent Health at Work Network group.
