Urgent Care Pathways Project

South Central Ambulance Service | South East
The programme has helped tens of thousands of patients receive the right treatment more quickly and avoid unnecessary transfers to emergency departments.
Working closely within more integrated systems, the team has improved patient experiences with better care delivery to more patients who are being treated at home, referred directly into hospital specialities, GPs and community teams.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the initiative rapidly adapted to support the supply of home oxygen monitoring and testing kits for patients.
