NHS111 will ask you a series of questions using their Pathways algorithm.

Treatments are delivered in a clinic setting or home visit. The core aim of the service is ‘hospital admission avoidance’ and early supported discharge

Trafford Patient Assessment

Remote assessment of patients who otherwise would have gone to accident and emergency. Based within the urgent Treatment Centre.
People are encouraged to ring 111 if they need urgent clinical attention, or 999 if they require emergency care. The outcomes of these remote assessments are not always what the patient needs. TPAS gives clinicians the opportunity to better assess and guide the patient to the correct care. TPAS calls come from a higher acuity than standard OOH calls being made up of ex 999 calls and 111 calls that would have been streamed to an A&E. After assessment we deflect approximately 70% of calls away from the emergency departments.
