BDP Single Point of Access : BDP (Bollington Disley and Poynton) Care Community

The Single Point of Access (SPA) is a transformational, clinical, and operational project designed as a way for the Primary Care Network and Care Community to work together to manage demand from the local population (Bollington, Disley and Poynton), particularly home visits. The SPA is attached to AskMyGP system and provides a centralised triage for both urgent, non-urgent, and simple to complex home visits . The SPA is a streamlined concept to improve clinical outcomes for patients and was developed as a roadway to an Integrated Care System. East Cheshire NHS Trust and Middlewood Partnership formed a collaborative approach to create the BDP visiting service which also includes our local place-based partnership with other organisations such as Social Services, voluntary sector, and connecting communities.
