26/09/2018 - 4th Annual Urgent Care Conference (United Kingdom)

The urgent care system is at breaking point. NHS figures from the winter of 2017-2018 were the worst on record with January 2018 marking the 30th month in a row that the four-hour target has been missed. This was even after the large-scale cancellations of non-urgent treatment that occurred in order to prioritise urgent and emergency care. Over 80,000 patients waited on trolleys for more than four hours at A&E in January, 1,000 of which were waiting for over 12 hours - the highest numbers since records began.

Our 4th Annual Urgent Care Conference: Delivering Integrated Solutions will seek to address how we can avoid crises like these in the future.
