Making urgent care work better in Sunderland
Over the past two years, Sunderland CCG have talked to hundreds of local people about urgent care. People have told them that they find the system confusing, and are not always sure where to get the care they need. Many people have also told us they find it hard to get an urgent appointment with their GP or feel they have to wait too long.
They want to make it easy and simple to use NHS services. To do this, they need to make some changes to services to make sure people get the right care as quickly as possible.
They also want to make it easier to see a GP – so that if you need an urgent appointment, you can get one quickly.
They have developed a new way of arranging services, which we think will help urgent care in Sunderland to work better. The plans are set out at http://www.sunderlandccg.nhs.uk/get-involved/urgent-care-services/
The CCG would like to hear your views, so that we understand how you feel about the proposed improvements.
