A consultation is underway to bring two services together at Rutland Memorial Hospital in Oakham
to create consistent opening times and more appointments seven days a week. The minor injuries service and urgent care service currently operate separately and the plans to bring them together for 8 hours a day everyday. You can have your say online or at a series of drop in events starting next month. Doctor James Burden is the ICB lead in Rutland and works of Uppingham surgery. He believes the new blended service will help the operation become more effective.
‘In the morning there's a minor.Injuries service for suspected fractures or sprains or minor injuries. Then in the evening it becomes much more of an acute urgent care centre with a clinician who is a qualified clinician with access to your medical notes with supervision normally remotely by a qualified doctor off site. The service that we're aiming to go to would be much more of a blended service where patients will hopefully be streamed and booked in by either one-on-one or their GP practice between the hours of 1:00pm in the afternoon and 9:00pm in the evening. Those hours will be consistent for every single day of the week.’
