Telephone Triage for Frontline Staff Virtual Workshop | Coming soon

General practice is embarking on a transformational journey – a journey that is re-evaluating the people – the clinical resources it has, the processes, how it deploys those resources and the technology as well as the mechanisms by which it manages the engagement with the patients.

The key objective of Telephone Triage is to help patients access the right care at the earliest opportunity – and in a way that provides them with flexibility, convenience, security, a sense of ownership and the stimulation to invest in their wellbeing. There are numerous drivers for this patient-centred approach and outcomes will include a more streamlined workload for GPs, ANPs and other members of the team in carrying out frontline triage. The aim to drive further practice efficiencies in terms of access to services and patient satisfaction. It will achieve this by releasing valuable clinical time – GP time and other clinical practitioners.

Frontline staff will also actively manage requests for GP appointments and safely redirect inappropriate GP consultations to the most appropriate care providers.

Objectives:  Telephone Triage is an essential patient engagement technique that will further develop the skills and career paths of non-clinical staff – frontline GP practice staff, who will move away from a passive role and have a more direct impact on patient health outcomes. The skills and abilities needed to undertake telephone triage and the necessary signposting are valuable in other new non-traditional roles such as Document Management, HCA and Care Navigation. After this web workshop, staff will be confident in handling the triage call, in advising and referring patients to care providers who work either within the practice team or to external care providers.
