Rapid review, analysis and presentation of activity data and projections was a key aspect of the project, allowing the Fusion team to propose clinically credible options, underpinned by robust planning assumptions. Clinical and wider stakeholder engagement across the organisation established common understanding of issues and requirements and consensus on the way forward. These underpinned the estate strategy and appraisal of practical and meaningful options for delivering the specific projects.
