Outpatient Transformation Conference 2021: Embracing Technology and Supporting Recovery

Outpatient Transformation Conference 2021: Embracing Technology and Supporting Recovery

There is an evolving consensus among stakeholders in the NHS that outpatient care is a problem area primed and ready for innovation and service redesign.

The number of outpatient visits in England has doubled to 94 million in the past decade; 20 per cent of potential appointments are cancelled or reported as did not attend, costs have spiralled to £8 billion per year and appointments generate 4,700 million kg of carbon emissions.

Due to the recent covid-19 outbreak, The NHS is giving patients greater control and convenience in their NHS hospital or clinic appointments – by offering telephone or video consultations, empowering people to book their follow-up care, and working with GPs to avoid the need for an onward referral where possible.

As part of the NHS Long Term Plan, up to a third of the face to face appointments delivered in outpatient care will be avoided by embracing technology and arranging services around patients’ lives. This work also plays a significant role in supporting the recovery of hospital services in response to the pandemic.

• Outpatient Transformation Programme – Core aims and challenges
