We support the development of primary care practices to provide patient-focused services, and deliver cost savings and improved patient experiences by widening the scope and capabilities of primary care. BICS is here to: Innovate – we’re changing how patients are treated by developing patient-focused and condition-specific community services. Educate – we support GP practices in making referrals and we provide feedback and an education programme to identify opportunities for learning. Collaborate – we work closely with health professionals to develop new services, improve efficiency and ensure that patients get the highest standards of care. Support – each time a GP refers a patient for a specialist opinion or non-emergency treatment, the referral is managed by BICS. We support the patient through the referral process, making sure they get the care that is right for them. Listen – we listen to patients through our patient groups so that we can develop the services that they want. Deliver – by redirecting referrals, supporting GPs and providing care in alternative settings, we have helped to reduce hospital outpatient appointments in Brighton and Hove by 3% between 2008 and 2011. Save – we saved the local NHS £600,000 in 2010. If you are a patient, find out more about what we do here. You can download our annual review here.
