The North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) offers a home visiting service where paramedics are seconded to work with GPs to provide care in patients' homes, reducing pressure on A&E and allowing for quicker access to care, here in Whitley Bay we offer this service to our patients.
Benefits of the Service:
Reduces A&E Pressure: By handling home visits, paramedics alleviate the workload on A&E departments, which can be experiencing high demand.
Faster Response Times: Paramedics can often reach patients more quickly than GPs who need to see other patients in the surgery first.
Improved Patient experience: Patients benefit from receiving care in the comfort of their own homes, and paramedics can provide specialised care and support.
