Demand optimisation in laboratory medicine phase V: final report June 2022
Demand optimisation is defined as the process by which diagnostic test use is optimised to maximise clinical utility, which in turn optimises clinical care and drives more efficient use of associated scarce NHS resources. Report from the National Demand Optimisation Group (NDOG).

Phase V has been the "implementation phase" of the national demand optimisation programme. The revised governance structure incorporated three separate short life working groups (SLWG) which allowed more focus on specific workstreams and associated actions. The figure 1 below outlines the structure.
