About this event

Here is the reality… the NHS deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours.*

There were 16.252m total hospital admissions in 2015/16, 28% more than a decade earlier (12.679m).

The UK population is projected to increase from an estimated 64.6 million in mid-2014 to 69.0 million by 2024 and 72.7 million by 2034, these numbers are likely to increase year on year.*

This is a huge demand on our health services and is not sustainable.

For many individuals the initial reason for attending often masks complex needs. For many, the accident and emergency (A&E) department is not the best place for them to be. This seminar is about starting a different conversation and thinking about what could be done differently to prevent the needs of individuals escalating to a point where A&E feels like the only option to them.

We recognise that one of the key success factors to achieving this is partnership working. This seminar will showcase positive partnership projects which have supported individuals in maintaining good health and preventing the need to be admitted.
