The Board received the report and noted:
(i) That the System Resilience Group had been successful in its application to become a national urgent and emergency care (UEC) Vanguard, which was the first in London; and
(ii) That Vanguard status would provide a platform from which to implement the findings of the recent BHR urgent care conference and would also provide an opportunity to look at the streamlining and simplification of the urgent care system and access for patients.
