Dr Jackson co chaired the Planned Care Pathway review for Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Health Authority. This formed part of the Next Stage Review established by Lord Ara Darzi and led to the publication of the SHA Report Healthy Ambitions. An important part of the work was one of the largest public engagement programmes attempted by the NHS that brought clinicians, managers, public health colleagues face to face with members of the general public.
In 2010 Dr Jackson and Professor McWhinnie worked with the Department of Health to set up a Best Practice Tariff for day surgery that paid Trusts an enhanced tariff for successful day surgery. This started with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy but due to the success of the programme it was expanded rapidly to other procedures and has successfully promoted the move to day surgery.
Creation of the British Association of Day Surgery Directory of Procedures.
This ground breaking development was published in 2006 and was conceived and completed by Dr Jackson and Professor Douglas McWhinnie with the support of the BADS Council.
