This would release clinical time, as not all appointments require a GP or Nurse to best match the requirements. We will look to add service availability of Extended Access on the front page of our website. Also include on TV in waiting area, patient leaflet and Poster in Reception.

Need to increase awareness of local Pharmacists in the area and work together for additional support for patients. This could be done via Network working and linked diabetic care and healthly life style schemes.

111 will also be advertised on Reception TV and included in Practice Leaflet, Poster in Reception.

The results for appointments offered were high (92%), could further improve with sign post training. Discussions are being held with CCG for funding city wide for staff with sign posting.
