Content ArticleIn this blog, Carl Heneghan, Urgent Care GP and Professor of Evidence-based Medicine at the University of Oxford, looks at how the shortage of doctors working in urgent care is affecting patient safety. He tells the story of a patient with a blocked catheter, highlighting that with early intervention, this should cause few complications, but if not treated promptly, it can cause bladder damage and chronic kidney failure. This example highlights the need to ensure patients are seen quickly if they have an urgent need in the community. The blog points out that current Government plans to scale up urgent community response teams are inadequate as they only cover 12 hours a day and there is a shortage of GPs willing to work in urgent care.

Emergency CPAP

We are looking into introducing a new device to deliver CPAP at ward level into our trust. Currently we use NIPPY machines which can deliver some PEEP when in a selected mode, however the downfall to this is, it can only produce an oxygen concentration of around 50%. Often, the patient groups that require this intervention are on high oxygen requirements and so particularly in the early stages would benefit from a device that could deliver both. I have previously worked with Pulmodyne 02-Max trio which allows up to 90% oxygen and PEEP up to 7.5cmH20. Majority of patients responded very well to this treatment. I wondered whether any other trusts/ team have any other experiences/ devices that they may use and recommend? @Danielle Haupt@Claire Cox@Emma Richardson@Mandy Odell@PatientSafetyLearning Team@Patient Safety Learning@Patient safety Hub@CCOT_Southend- Posted

Content ArticleNHS services have been under increasing pressure in recent years, particularly since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have previously reported on the NHS’s efforts to tackle the backlogs in elective care and its progress with improving mental health services in England. This report gives an overview of NHS services that may be used when people need rapid access to urgent, emergency or other non-routine health services, and whether such services are meeting the performance standards the NHS has told patients they have a right to expect. It covers: general practice community pharmacy 111 calls ambulance services (including 999 calls) urgent treatment centres accident and emergency (A&E) departments.

NHS under strain from winter pressures
Patient-Safety-Learning posted a news article in News
A new report has emerged on hospitals now seeing an overwhelming influx of patients. The report details how urgent care is now under immense strain from people seeking care in emergency departments across the country. Read full story (paywalled). Source: Nursing Times, 08 July 2021 -
Content ArticleThis report by the Primary Care Foundation considers the question: 'Is the drive to improve outcomes and the quality of integrated urgent care being compromised by poor data quality?' The report highlights that monitoring the performance of NHS contracts is vital to allow commissioners to understand and compare the effectiveness of services, and that this monitoring cannot occur without accurate data. The authors conducted a detailed study of current data before exploring how issues in the system might be overcome. The report aims to build consensus for change within the urgent care sector.
