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.
