NHS England and NHS Improvement monitor patient safety and work with systems to manage any potential risks. In 2022/23, an additional £50 million has been invested in NHS 111 to support increased call taking capacity and ensure that patients can access urgent care when necessary. NHS England and NHS Improvement are working with integrated care boards to improve patient flow and reduce ambulance handover delays, maximising Same Day Emergency Care services and access to Urgent Treatment Centres as an alternative to accident and emergency where appropriate.<\/p>

In Slough, funding for 17 intermediate adult social care beds has been extended to June 2022 and an additional 20 bed community ward at Heathlands Heathwood Hospital has been created. An immediate ambulance handover policy is also in place at hospitals in Slough and capacity to accept paramedic handovers increased by 30%.<\/p>

In the South East, Urgent Treatment Centres and Same Day Emergency Care provision is being developed to ensure alternatives to emergency departments are available at acute sites. This is addition to engaging system partners to alleviate pressures through urgent community response, developing virtual wards, enhanced health care in care homes and bringing together local health systems to reduce length of stay and increase discharges.<\/p>
