two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Minor Illness Services are for patients who self-present to the EDs who have a minor illness presentation and are suitable to be seen by a primary care clinician.
At the LGI, the Minor Illness Service caters to both adults and paediatrics and is staffed by Advanced Clinical Practitioners, operating a see and treat service, seven days a week from 8 AM to 00.00 PM with a streaming service operating from 8 am to 9 PM. In contrast, the SJUH Minor Illness Service focuses exclusively on adults and is delivered by a GP, with operating hours from 10 AM to 10 PM. During their respective hours of operation, these services play a critical role in diverting minor illness presentations away from the main ED.
This service plays a crucial role in alleviating congestion in the ED and enhancing the timeliness of care for patients. The activities carried out through the Co-located Minor Illness Service also contribute approximately 3.8% towards achieving the Emergency Care Standard (ECS), demonstrating its significance in supporting efficient healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes.
