- LAS has produced a presentation for practices to help them better understand the LAS processes and how they categorise/prioritise calls.
- In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, LAS has enabled a HCP to delegate the LAS request via the HCP line by completing the booking checklist form, which can be found within the presentation.
- Health care professionals should utilise the LAS HCP telephone number: 020 3162 7525.
- LAS do utilise the NEWS2 score in their assessments but are aware that this is not validated for general practice use and was developed for monitoring patients in hospital over time using repeat measurements.
