Apols for not inputting sooner - but being a part timer, I have other (better) things to think about!
Louis is absolutely correct re central guidance from the ivory towers of the MHRA, but how mnay worthy topics can we apply that argument to
Surely the best way forward with this (to avoid lots of wheel reinvention + numerous creative/arbitrary methods of scoring) is to ttry to get the various benchmarking clubs that we are all involved with to take it forward as an issue. Hopefully, this will 'distill' some key points which can be proposed as best practice, and provide us with some consistency (therefore better gluteous protection, since it would be applied across the NHS) in our scoring.
I am more than happy to try to contribute my experiences/views to this if there is a chance that we can reach some sort of central core methodology (even if it means abandoning what I have already done -

) Though I am heartened that my local benchmarking group viewed it very favourably, it needs more input/ discussion. Anybody else willing to push this one?
