⢠A GP Direct Access Echocardiogram and Ambulatory ECG Service that will provide this cardiology diagnostic test for patients aged over 18 years.

The CCGs expected outcomes for the service are as follows: ⢠Provide rapid access for Direct Access Echocardiograms and ambulatory ECG tests in a community setting. ⢠The diagnostic investigation provides clear and robust evidence of the cardiac condition. ⢠To provide the Referrer with a result of the echocardiogram and clear clinical management guidelines ⢠Triaging patients to secondary care where appropriate. ⢠Access to earlier treatment and improved cardiac health. ⢠Reduction to first Out-patient appointments/diagnostic tests in secondary care ⢠Improved rate of diagnosis ⢠Cost and efficiency savings ⢠Equitable service provision ⢠Continued partnership working with HVCCG local secondary care providers.
