What is Enhanced Access?

Enhanced access is a Primary Care initiative that aims to increase the availability of appointments and improve access to care for patients. Enhanced Access involves a range of measures, such as offering extended opening hours, making more appointments available, and increasing the use of digital channels (telemedicine) for improved access.The goal of enhanced access is to reduce waiting times and improve the overall patient experience. It is often implemented in response to high demand for primary care services and can help to reduce pressure on other parts of the healthcare system, such as emergency departments.

''I just want to say a huge thank you to the social prescribing team who called me after a home visit from the GP. I have had to try and organise a carer for my In-Laws urgently and did not have a clue how difficult it would be. Suzi chatted through the types of care and the referral options in adult social care and guided me through the options. I received a prompt email providing links to PA providers. Great support from a knowledgeable team. Thank you.''
