REVIEW OF URGENT CARE SERVICES PDF 141 KB The panel will receive information on the review of urgent care options for the public in Plymouth. Minutes: The Assistant Director for Commissioning (NHS Plymouth) introduced a report on the review of urgent care. It was reported that NHS Plymouth had been working hard to improve processes and had been working within the Quality Innovation Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) programme. A number of conversations on the provision of urgent care had formed the basis of the review, it was highlighted that the myriad of urgent care options was confusing and there was too much choice which was leading to additional stress for patients during already stressful times.
A single point of contact was under discussion allowing the public to be directed to the service that they required. NHS Plymouth had submitted a joint bid with the South Western Ambulance Service and NHS Direct to pilot the three digit number in the south west. NHS Plymouth expect to be informed in April whether or not the bid had been successful.
South Western Ambulance Services would be rolling out the implementation of a Capacity Management System (CMS). The service would assist with the redirection of people who call for an ambulance but should be using other patient facing urgent care services. The changes would be linked with NHS Pathways which was a process directing people to the right options of care.
The management of long term conditions was seen as key to reducing unplanned urgent and emergency care, a number of work streams in the long term condition work plan would have an impact on urgent care landscape in Plymouth.
