Telephone support for primary care

by ANNA WHITE | May 24, 2020 | in Spinal Conditions

Secondary care providing telephone advice service for spinal conditions. 

GP's and FCP/ANP are often unsure on the management of spinal conditions. But being able to get immediate advice, patients are directed according to NICE guidance and the national LBP Pathway. This has resulted in patients only attending secondary care of required and primary care reassured and educated re patient management. GP's working by telephone appointments, reported very high levels of satisfaction with the new service. 

What is needed to sustain the change?

Nice simple solution in theory and sounds like it has worked well. Do you have an indication of numbers involved and can you share how you integrated this into job plans?
