Area wide electronic booking: a revolution in the management of health and well being.
Area wide electronic booking provides patients with the choice of date, time and place as well as the certainty of appointment when referred into secondary care by their GP. The system provides substantial benefits to both primary and secondary care as well as to the patient. This model is to be imminently implemented throughout the NHS in England, drawing from the experiences gained in South East London.
