Central Lancashire Primary Care Trust (PCT), in line with national policy, is reviewing a number of patient pathways with a view to delivering care safely and to a high standard within a community setting. Work has already commenced on areas such as dermatology and musculoskeletal services and information to date shows an average of 43 per cent. of patients being treated in a community setting. The PCT will build on this work, and over the coming months share the next stage of this development with patients and clinicians alike.
