Respiratory Care Initiative of the Year

CPFT Community Respiratory Urgent Triage Pilot for Cambridgeshire : Cambridge and Peterborough FT in collaboration with Primary Care across the North Alliance

The focus of this project is a subtle change in how health professionals across the system can access our service quickly for the acute resiratory needs of patients.

Involved parties: CPFT Community Respiratory Team and all PCN's across the North Alliance (and soon the South) of Cambridgeshire.

The CRT see patients who have a diagnosis of COPD, Bronchiectasis and ILD. The priority of this service is to avoid unnecessary admissions of these patients into the acutes through timely and specialist input in the community.
