“Improvement activity is energising” - @dangrimes1980 describing the start of an patient flow improvement journey for @LivHospitals - really powerful when we know just how tired staff are as we head into another tough winter… #nwuecwinter
And we are just hearing that there have been 6 additional vehicles commissioned for the North West which will help with undertaking face to face assessments which can be joint mental and physical health assessments 🙌🎉 @NHSEngland@NHSNW#nwuecwinter
In response to the sharp increase in urgent Mental Health presentations since the pandemic, Mersey Care have👍increased their community services 👍set up a crisis line👍introduced a dedicated 24:7 line for emergency services professionals @NHSEngland@NHSNW#nwuecwinter
There’s more! They have established 3 triage cars which can go out solo or with an ambulance. In 2021 they prevented >500 presentations, saved approx 8,500 hours of police time and in total supported >2000 individuals @NHSEngland@NHSNW#nwuecwinter
Powerful real life examples showing @NWAmbulance more able to get to where they are most needed following the roll out of NHS Pathways & the UEC DoS due to quicker triage, fewer touch points & more appropriate outcomes for people calling 111/999 @NHSEngland@NHSNW#nwuecwinter
