• To provide telephone and face to face clinical assessment.
• To provide urgent medical cover out of hours to inpatients in community hospitals within Gloucestershire.
• To support, where clinically appropriate, the admission of patients seen during the OOH period direct to Community Hospital Beds.
• To work closely with the local provider of Extended GP Access (known as Choice Plus) to ensure alignment and integration across the OOH and Choice Plus Services and maximise productivity across both services.
