Last week we launched a specially focused 'Triage Week' across our health and wellbeing social media channels (myhealthncumbria), shining a spotlight on how triage systems are helping to improve access, safety, and outcomes in primary care.
Through a series of short video clips and messages from local GPs, the campaign explained how total triage works—and why it matters.
Triage is basically the term used for initial assessment of patients.
If you’ve ever contacted your GP surgery and been asked a few questions before getting an appointment, or you've contacted 111, visited A&E or an urgent treatment centre, you’ve already experienced triage.
