‘Open All Hours’ : A Lothian-wide Third Sector Event to explore ideas preventing the need for, and enhancing the delivery of, out of hours care.
NHS Lothian and the four Lothian IJBs are currently working together to redesign care services for primary care out of hours periods – namely evenings/overnight, weekends and public holidays.
This event will bring together the senior decision makers of the Programme Board and third sector organisations to explore ideas and discuss how we might develop proposals to support patient needs.
Easter Road Stadium, The Edinburgh Room, Wednesday 10 October 2018, 9.30am registration + breakfast roll for 10.00am to 1.30pm
Programme aim:
‘To develop an Urgent Care Resource Hub which coordinates well-led and well-supported multidisciplinary health and social care teams, including third and independent sector, to deliver urgent care in the Out of Hours Period’
System issues:
We are noticing disjointed patient pathways through the Out of Hours Services
There are numerous pressures on current Out of Hours Services, such workload, workforce and a pressure to deliver more care in the community
We need to build a sustainable integrated model that delivers the right care at the right time in the right place
