RCGP manifesto• More local community services• Better access to diagnostic service• Specialists in the community e.g.
geriatricians/paediatricians• More say in commissioning OOH
services-(despite mostly opting out of responsibility for 24 hour care)

CEM • At most,25% of urgent attendances may be
cared for in primary care setting• Believe that improved access to GPs and out
of hours Primary care services is best way of dealing with problem
• Support co-location of primary care OOH• Do NOT support urgent care centres (triage of
ambulatory patients by non-ED staff deciding whether ED attendance required)

GPs in ED• Spectrum of patients?• Work to ED protocols/guidelines?• Different clinical setting:on-site
diagnostics• Different patient population?• Who has clinical responsibility? GP?
Consultant? ED middle grade?• In litigation-who are you peers?

GPs in Emergency depts
• Reduce admissions?• Increase attendances?• Sustainable?-already difficult to
staff OOH service• Improve ED/GP interface?• Improve education?-different
experience• Effect on ED staff retention-relative
pay rates• How many GPs really want to do it?

GPs in ED• Some areas employing “salaried GPs” to
work in EDs-By definition if they are working full time in ED they are not a GP.
• Some GPs work in ED in middle grade role.See more than Primary Care patients.Tend to be those with an interest in emergency medicine-small numbers
