This session is brought to you by:
Cinapsis SmartReferrals is a leading NHS clinical communication and referral management platform that gives community and primary care clinicians, paramedics, pharmacists and opticians immediate access to specialist advice to deliver smarter triage, faster decision-making and fewer unnecessary referrals.
Xyla Elective Care specialises in elective care delivery for the NHS and is a national framework approved for insourcing and outsourcing. Their services support the NHS in meeting elective care targets by providing both referral management and clinical capacity solutions across primary and secondary care.
We are collaborating to deliver several new care delivery models that are focused on integrating primary and secondary care where local clinicians are unavailable or there is limited or no local coverage in a specialty.
