Urgent Care – Out of Hospital Programme

This Health Education England work programme focused on education and training to workforce in care homes, both residential and nursing, with the support of patient quality teams within seven clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) across Arden, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

A programme evaluation has been commissioned and will be available in Autumn 2016.
