Remote Health Pathways in NHS Ayrshire & Arran
In NHS Ayrshire & Arran, the focus is on developing remote health pathways to address unmet patient needs and relieve workforce and system pressure. The 'Caring for Ayrshire' vision emphasizes delivering care close to home with access to high-quality specialist services when needed. Initiatives include asthma, COPD, hypertension monitoring, and more. Primary care pathways are being implemented to support conditions like asthma, COPD, depression, and epilepsy. Citizen engagement plays a crucial role in shaping service design. Examples include self-management plans for patients and connectors like Sally Wilkes in East Ayrshire HSCP.
