A.  There are many ways to browse the collection of case studies, and you can access the search facility either on the homepage by clicking on the Case Studies tab.

Use the drop-down menus to restrict your search by local area or type of care. You can click 'search' after selecting any one, or choose several options to further restrict your search. You can also search by the date when the case study was added to our database, or by entering keywords.

If a search returns no results, try broadening the search – by changing the local area to “National” or selecting “all groups” for instance.
