Out of the Maze – A Service to Improve the Misuse of A&E by Migrants
The project aims to improve the situation where migrants are unwilling or unable to access preventative healthcare and are more likely to use A&E services rather than primary care. Enhancing migrants’ access to GPs by improving the language barriers, redundant information, maze-like navigation and lack of understanding of NHS that migrants face when they reach their GPs. At the same time the project has the potential to reduce wasted A&E resources and reduce the cost of treatment for migrants for NHS.
