Hyndburn NHS chiefs to target frequest care users
NHS chiefs for Hyndburn are looking at plans to target frequent users of primary and emergency care services, to reduce unneccessary appointments and admissions.
A business case for £53,000 worth of unallocated funding is being developed, following a suggestion from diabetes specialists in the borough.
Meanwhile, the Hyndburn Nurse Forum is currently looking at the training and education needs of nurses who work in GP practices. A new framework could then be adapted for other primary care staff.
