Brilliant webinar with Consultant Connect today with over 300 sign ups hearing about small to large scale innovations from Wales Scotland and England! Thank you Katrin (Kat) James Rachel Williams @chris morris @jamie morrison Clive Moss Carole Hall It’s really key patients get to the right place first time and systems work together to ensure HCPs have access to advice that enables that.

We expect this year’s focus for winter funding applications will be no different to previous years; successful applications will likely be those for innovative initiatives and technology that ensure hospital pressures are reduced. Here's how we can help: #NHSWinterFunding #PatientCare #NHS #Technology

Triaging referrals has become a fundamental step for many NHS trusts and hospitals, especially since the volume of patients waiting for consultant-led elective care is at an all-time high. Areas with local clinical capacity challenges turn to our consultant-led Referral Triage and Clinical Validation service for short or long-term support. Find out the benefits of the service to patients, primary and secondary care clinicians, and commissioners: #ElectiveRecovery #NHS #PatientBenefits #WaitingLists #ClinicalCapacity

For patients, including those with respiratory conditions, being able to be cared for in the comfort of their own home via Hospital@Home (H@H) pathways can be a game-changer in terms of how quickly they recover: #VirtualWards #HospitalAtHome #NHS #RespiratoryMedicine #PatientCare

Emergency Services Day, #999Day, recognises the hard work and dedication of our urgent care provisions, including NHS ambulance teams. This year, we’re highlighting how ambulance trusts up and down the UK use Consultant Connect to speak rapidly and directly with clinicians to discuss whether A&E is the most suitable destination for their patients. #EmergencyServicesDay #UrgentCare #NHS

ITV Central News visited Warwick Hospital to see how Consultant Connects technology is being used by West Midlands Ambulance Service and SWFT to decrease the strain on A&E departments and ensure patients get better, faster care. By treating people in the community, instead of in hospital, we have been able to close a surge ward, resulting in savings of more than £1.5 million in temporary staffing costs.

'Call before convey' or rapid telephone advice pathways are key to reducing winter pressures. But how do you ensure they are delivered reliably and at scale? NHS leaders across England, Scotland and Wales share proven approaches at our webinar next week: #NHSWebinar #Winter #BestPractice #NHS #UEC

Did you know that you must implement Single Point of Access to a minimum standard by this winter? Find out how Consultant Connect is helping providers in England, Scotland and Wales to meet the standard and improve patient care: #SinglePointOfAccess #NHS #WinterPlans #PatientCare

West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust Paramedic Claire Sweet says the Consultant Connect App is beneficial for many patients, adding: 'it is important to keep a patient in their own environment, it stops muscle wastage as if you end up in hospital then it is a prolonged amount of time, possibly in a bed, and if you are able to be treated at home it is a lot nicer and a lot easier.'
