Primary Care and Emergency Departments: report from the Primary Care Foundation (8th March 2010)
In May 2009 the Department of Health commissioned the Primary Care Foundation to study the impact of using primary care within or alongside Accident and Emergency. The report highlights that use of primary care clinicians in Accident and Emergency departments can benefit patients where services are integrated and clinicians work together.
The findings of this report are being developed into a guide for commissioners on use of primary care clinicians with Accident and Emergency departments and this guide will be available soon.
This report will be of interest to NHS chief executives and their commissioning colleagues.
