Tackling demand together
The DH have published a toolkit for improving urgent and emergency care pathways by understanding increases in 999 demand. PCTs can use this to inform their commissioning plans for ambulance services and identify areas for action in urgent care.
Tackling rising demand for services can seem like a daunting task. This toolkit helps to break demand down into factors and create manageable workplans to address them and achieve real local change, in line with QIPP – Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention.
It contains examples from practices and PCTs that may help you as you formulate plans for dealing with increasing demand for emergency care in your area.
