On 18 April 2023, the contacts for all GPs, patients, carers, social services, acute trusts and all other Community Service users in Whitby, Pocklington and Scarborough and Ryedale will merge into a Single Point of Contact for the Trust’s Community Services.

This change will provide a SPOC for all neighbourhood care teams. The refined process will:

  • Provide an improved service for both patients and staff, and a greater continuity of care
  • Deliver increased referral efficiencies within a single referral protocol

The new SPOC will not impact provision of care. Existing patients receiving community care will be issued with the new SPOC information.

    On 18 April 2023, the contacts for all GPs, patients, carers, social services, acute trusts and all other Community Service users in Whitby, Pocklington and Scarborough and Ryedale will merge into a Single Point of Contact for the Trust’s Community Services.
