Rethinking urgent care
This Primary Care Foundation report highlights that the significant queues some Urgent Care Centres allow to build up are often associated with a process described as "triage and wait" in which patients wait once to be prioritised and then wait again for a full consultation. The report urges urgent care centres to move to a “see and treat” model that is more effective at providing a rapid response.
