Working with local practices and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital Trust, NHS Liverpool set out to divert admissions to the emergency department of patients whose needs could be managed more appropriately in primary care settings. Since the scheme began 6% of patients have been successfully diverted, improving the use of A&E resources and generating potential savings of up to £184,000 a year.
