I think that we should be advertising good practice examples of any healthcare provision that impacts or could impact on A&E and I will certainly place your comments Andrew about what the Trent region are doing on the BAEM website along with what is happening in the A&E departments themselves. I was told that most GPs surgeries in Brighton will be open for only 2 hours for emergencies on the bank holidays including 27th 28th and 31st. Just before everyone exercises their communal angst about the festive >season, and brandish the usual inaccurate but entertaining messages >about GPs being "uncontactable" and "closed from Christmas Eve through >to the 3rd of January", would you like to know what most GP services >will be doing? >The Health Authorities, certainly here in Trent Region, expect GP >Surgeries to be open, even on the Bank Holidays, during this coming >festive season. This means that patients will have access to "normal" GP >Services on Mon 27th, Tuesday 28th, and all through that week.
