NHS GM has been working with partners to carry out a review of urgent care* services for the people in Trafford.

We want to ensure that access to urgent care services is simple to understand, is joined up with other parts of the health and social care system, and meets people’s needs. This has been a long-standing ambition in our Trafford Locality Plan.

Please click on the links below for more information:

• Background about Trafford Urgent Care Review, initial findings, and next steps.
• Healthwatch Trafford Analysis Report of engagement activities.
• Trafford Urgent Care Review: Communications and Engagement Approaches and Methodologies report.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback, welcomed us to their established meetings or supported us to ensure a wide reach of views.

We will be holding public face-to-face focus group sessions in different neighbourhoods of Trafford to outline the findings and gain further thoughts/ideas.  Date/venue to be finalised. Email gmicb-tr.commissioning@nhs.net or call/text 07748 770580 if interested, and we will send you further details once finalised.

*Urgent care generally involves any non-life-threatening illness or injury needing urgent attention which might be dealt with by phone consultation through the NHS 111 Clinical Assessment Service, pharmacy advice, out-of-hours GP appointments, and/or referral to an urgent treatment centre (UTC).
