About this network
This ECHO network is an interface between primary and secondary care in the South West area of the Western Trust. “Minding the Gap” is all about sharing key information and experience, so that there is support, learning and peer-to-peer encouragement in delivering care to the population of the southern sector of the Western Trust.
It is based on the ECHO model of everyone a teacher, everyone a learner. Topics are chosen by the spokes, and the network responds to the needs they raise.
The network aims to improve
- Discharges and admissions
- Outpatient efficiency
- Communication and understanding between primary and secondary care services relating to SWAH
- Co-producing and co-designing service models that work in the face of current pressures
