Referral management service
- offering patient choice
- improving the patient journey
For GPs, the service:
- acts as a training and education source for GPs and locums
- supports the delivery of high quality first time referrals so that people are seen in the right place, at the right time, for their first outpatient appointment
The RMS also provides high quality and routine data to GP practices, commissioners and providers so that effective and efficient services can be commissioned based on evidence.
