Single Point of Access for Community Health Services
What does our service do?
Our Single Point of Access (SPA) coordinates all urgent and non-urgent referrals for community nursing, intermediate care, therapy services and admission to community hospitals across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
How does our service work?
The SPA enables patients receiving care from our community health services to call one number for advice or care in between planned visits.
It also enables healthcare professionals to call one number for advice on referrals, prioritising clinical need and matching a patient’s needs to the right service, avoiding the need to navigate complex systems and multiple points of contact.
The SPA operates 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
