Public meeting on urgent care plans
Published on Thursday, 10th December 2015
Your views needed by 15th December
Public invited to send in views on urgent care plans
People in North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth are invited to give their views to NHS Warwickshire North Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on the future of urgent care services.
Warwickshire North CCG has launched a public consultation which runs until 15 December on plans to transform urgent care walk-in services across North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth.
This consultation is all about where the best location is for a walk-in service to work seamlessly with other urgent care services. The aim is to commission an urgent care walk-in service which people find simple to understand and gets people prompt treatment or advice for their urgent care need, making best use of the medical workforce and without additional pressure on A&E.
In common with the rest of England, there is a growing demand for urgent and emergency care in North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, which has led to huge pressure on hospital emergency and urgent care services. Around 48,000 people from the Warwickshire North CCG area attended A&E at George Eliot Hospital in 2014/15. At least one third of these people could possibly have been treated effectively elsewhere.
There are no changes planned around the GP led health centre on Ramsden Avenue, only the walk-in service, and NHS Warwickshire North CCG want to highlight other urgent care services in the area such as late night pharmacies and GP services with extended hours.
