Tender description

To ensure patients have improved access to GMS appointments 7 days/week (excluding bank holidays, when access is via the East Kent GP out of hours service). The aim of this service is to improve access to General Medical Services (GMS) appointments for Thanet CCG patients. By so doing the CCG should be able to reduce the demand for urgent out of hour’s primary care services. This will increase the capacity of the GP out of hour’s provider and the primary care screening service to enable those services to more effectively manage urgent demands which can be met by a primary care clinician.
