Digital Triage Solutions: Revolutionising Access to Care

The future of patient access: total triage

The 8am rush for GP appointments is a challenge that primary care providers across the NHS face daily. Total triage is transforming patient access, ensuring that every request is efficiently assessed and directed to the right service, reducing stress on reception teams and improving patient outcomes. With total triage NHS solutions, practices can manage demand more effectively, directing patients to the most appropriate care pathway while ensuring clinical safety. Whether it’s an urgent request, a routine appointment, or self care guidance, total triage streamlines decision making, freeing up time for clinicians and reducing pressure on frontline staff.

How total triage works

  • Online first: patients submit requests via digital platforms, reducing inbound phone calls
  • Smart prioritisation: requests are assessed based on urgency, ensuring urgent cases receive immediate attention
  • Right care, first time: patients are signposted to the correct service, whether that’s self-care, a pharmacist, or a GP consultation
  • Operational efficiency: reduces administrative burdens and improves practice workflow

By embracing total triage GP systems, practices can transform how they interact with patients, cutting down waiting times and improving efficiency.
