Abstract

A GP practice set up a new system of assessing patients, with an emphasis on appropriate immediate need. The aim is to speed up treatment and reduce inappropriate accident and emergency admissions. A new role of community paramedic on loan from the ambulance trust was a vital part of the team. The first eight months dramatically cut accident and emergency admissions and sped up category A response times.
