A new national programme called NHS 111 First, which encourages patients to contact NHS 111 before attending an Emergency Department (A&E) so they can be directed straight to the right service for their needs, is now live. We need your views and are especially interested in your experiences if you have used the new service.
The purpose of NHS 111 First is to:
Reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in A&E settings
Protect A&E for those whose need is most urgent
Signpost and support the public to receive the right care in the right place, first time
Reduce waits for treatment
Northamptonshire was selected as an early implementer of the programme and piloted it from late October, prior to the national launch on 1 December.
With Northamptonshire CCG we would like to find out what you think of this new service and hear your experiences if you have used NHS 111 since 23 October 2020.
