Annual urgent care conference

Primary care commissioners must tackle the major issues presented by emergency admissions and the growing calls for round the clock patient access if commissioning strategies are to be deemed successful. The Darzi Review and the PM’s commitments on access give further focus to the issues of urgent care.

This year’s NHS Alliance urgent care conference will face all of these issues head on and look at what is working and why in the field. To this end the event will also feature the presentation of the ‘Excellence in service’ awards for Out of Hours and Primary Urgent Care in Demand Management, Clinical Governance and new models of care.
