Many of our Gynae Elective Care waiting times across the region are currently short. Funding was recently increased back to 100% for this great service so we have more capacity to see patients quickly. GPs can refer locally, list on our website: https://t.co/Io7IQNw4Yn

Over 75k patients have been seen in GP Elective Care since it's establishment 7 years ago. This is a testament to the hard work & dedication of our specialist teams working in primary care. With recurrent funding across most services we look forward to building on this success.

Our Elective Care Vasectomy GPESs held their annual conference in Belfast last Saturday. This was a fantastic opportunity for case discussions and reflective practice, with guest speaker Dr Gareth James ASPC President visiting to discuss findings based on 105k vasectomy cases.

We are delighted to welcome the 1st patient through the new low risk Basal Cell Carcinoma pathway. A superb example of primary and secondary care work together for the benefit of patients. Thanks to all our partners in making this possible @healthdpt @HSC_NI @NHSCTrust @setrust
Y'day I performed the first Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) excision under the @ni_gpecs BCC pathway. This pilot, in collab with @setrust & @NHSCTrust allows some GPs to remove low-risk BCCs in primary care, easing secondary care pressures. A milestone for GP-led derm care @healthdpt

Over 25,000 women seen through primary care gynae hubs. 25,000 patients who otherwise would be sitting on a secondary care waiting list
So true - gpecs is a real example of how work can be transferred to the community with excellent results for patients @EasternGp @BMANI_GP @rcgp_ni @ursulaamason @healthdpt @mikenesbittni @LizK1988 @DannyDonnelly1 @DianeDoddsMLA @ColinSDLP @mlchealth @markataylor16

I spent a morning with @ni_gpecs learning some skills in community surgery. >8000 vasectomies completed in a few years. Definitely a quality team and great service for patients languishing on waiting lists. What next? Carpal tunnel? Investment in GP led services required!

We want to thank the Minister @RobinSwann_MLA for his decision to invest recurrently in Primary Care Vasectomy. An incredible endorsement for the service. We look forward to continuing to work with @healthdpt over the coming months to further develop Primary Care Elective.
The Health Minister has announced that vasectomy services in NI will be transferred from secondary care to primary care. Robin Swann said the decision will take effect immediately, with a transition phase throughout 2024/25. ➡️More info here: https://t.co/enE4vHFYNY

Thank you for your continued support Danny
As someone who has benefitted from the Primary Care Vasectomy service I know how easy it was to access and have this procedure. It is a service that was making a big difference to many families across NI.

Since Nov 18 over 65,000 patients have been seen for a range of non complex elective procedures in our service. These figures are symbolic of the successful role primary care can play in supporting transformation. Delivering cost effective local solutions to waiting lists.
