With continued pressures facing the NHS, Urgent Community Response Services (UCRS) have never been needed more. Since there introduction in the NHS Long-Term Plan, Urgent Community Response Services have played a pivotal role in reducing hospital admissions & delivering urgent care within a patient’s own home.
In this conference we will explore how a diverse range of healthcare professionals have developed effective solutions within Urgent Care Response teams to tackle day one emergency care and reduce A&E admissions and hospital stays.
"Almost a quarter of a million people (226,895) have received urgent medical support from home – many avoiding a hospital stay – since the teams were rolled out nationally in April – two years ahead of the NHS Long Term Plan target. Thanks to the major new plan to help recover services and reduce waiting times for patients, these community services will be scaled up even further – including taking more referrals from ambulance services, 12 hours a day, seven days a week across England. Around one fifth of emergency admissions can be avoided with the right care in place."

"Urgent community response teams are an invaluable resource for the NHS – they are key in helping patients to receive the care they need, in the right place and at the right time."
James Sanderson, NHS England director for community health services, March 2023
