GP Link to A&E
ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY DIRECT GP LIASION NURSE SERVICE:
Our Accident and Emercency GP Liaison Service was set up to improve communications and provide a DIRECT LINK between our Accident and Emergency department and GPs on behalf of patients. The A+E GP Liaison Nurse (GPLN) provides a central, efficient and timely communication link to G.P.’s and other Primary Providers.
GPs can access this service if they want a patient to be examined by a doctor in Accident and Emergency or if they simply need information regarding follow up, test results, outcomes or information regarding the most appropriate referral pathway.
GP’s should contact GP Liaison Nurse if you have concerns regarding a patient you are referring, or any patient who has already attended the A&E Department. The GPLN will provide a link to an A&E Doctor if necessary.
