The NHS is setting up ‘war rooms’ as it prepares for one of the toughest winters in its history, officials have announced. In a letter to staff, health leaders in England set out ‘winter resilience plans’.
These centres will be expected to manage demand and capacity across the entire country by constantly tracking beds and attendances.
Meanwhile, NHS England announced plans to expand falls response services so people are treated in their homes, avoiding unnecessary trips to hospital where possible.– Local ‘respiratory infections hubs’ – which will aim to offer patients same day out-of-hospital care for Covid, flu, acute bronchitis and pneumonia.– 24/7 access to professional mental health advice in ambulance services.
‘So it is right that we prepare as much as possible – the NHS is going further than it ever has before in anticipation of a busy winter, and today we have set out further plans to step up these preparations – building on our existing plans to boost capacity set out in August this year.
