1. Programme Board Aim

2. Transforming Out of Hour’s Urgent Care thinkSpace Event
An Introduction to our Programme

3. Background: The Ritchie Review
In 2015, then Cabinet Secretary Shona Robison MSP commissioned a report into Out of Hours Primary Care in Scotland
Sir Lewis Ritchie chaired the report, with the outcome of the report being 28 workable recommendations
One recommendation is to create a multidisciplinary team/sector Urgent Care Resource Hub

4. Ritchie’s Proposed Model

5. Need for Change
There are numerous pressures on current Out of Hours Services including workload, workforce and a move to deliver more care in the community
Through the eyes of a patient, the Out of Hours landscape can be very confusing and often does not reflect the ‘right time, right care, right place’ model
It is a vital service that needs to evolve and stabilise to meet the needs of the population

As the Programme Transformation Team, we want to hear how health care professionals and the third sector can work together to transform the out of hours urgent care service offered in NHS Lothian

This will be a great opportunity to network and discuss how your organisation could support out of hours care delivery in Lothian
