Pleased to share some lovely patient feedback that our Elective Gynae Service received recently. Waiting times for patients are currently relatively short, for more info and for referral criteria for GPs see gpecs.easternfsu.com
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: gpecs.easternfsu.com/service-update…
An opportunity has become available to join the Gynae Elective Care Team, for details and to apply, please see nijobfinder.co.uk/job/2010450/gp…
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.
With the fantastic news that most of our GP Elective Care services have received recurrent funding here's a reminder of what can be referred into our services:

Over 25,000 women seen through primary care gynae hubs. 25,000 patients who otherwise would be sitting on a secondary care waiting list

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!
👏👏👏Massive congratulations to our team on winning a NI Health Care award for our Primary Care Dermatology service. A fantastic achievement. Well done to all involved
We’re delighted to have the opportunity to show case the truly transformational GP Elective care work on an international stage. Our incredible Clinical Director @mcentee_siobhan will be presenting all our learnings on Wednesday afternoon.

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.

Well done to our clinical lead for Vasectomy Dr Joe Devlin. A superb example of how a service that was historically delivered in secondary care can be delivered more efficiently, more cost effective and more convenient for patients in primary care.

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.
We are pleased to welcome back @RobinSwann_MLA as Health Minister. In his 5 year strategy for tackling elective care waiting lists Minister Swann recognised the valuable role @ni_gpecs brings to achieving this. We look forward to continuing to support the Minister with this plan
