Read the new Gastroenterology Advice & Guidance
The NHS has seen major changes to outpatient services in recent years, accelerated by adopting remote consultations and telemedicine during the pandemic.
This guide provides advice and templates for a key aspect of outpatient services, Advice and Guidance (A&G) which is also known as Specialist Advice Services. A&G is one of a number of tools that are available to promote closer working between primary and secondary care with the aim of improving and streamlining patient care. A&G can support GPs to provide optimum gastroenterology support to patients closer to home, aided by guidance from specialist gastroenterology teams.
A&G is one of the crucial elements to efficiently performing outpatient services. This guide will support trusts to implement best practice and to empower patients through shared decision-making, whilst minimising unnecessary and inefficient outpatient activity.
