AbstractObjectiveTo report the initial experience of a newly built Priority Primary Care Centre (PPCC) from the ED perspective.MethodsA single‐centre prospective cohort study, assessing referrals to the PPCC from 1 February to 30 June 2023.ResultsThere were 1240 patients referred to the PPCC from the ED, of which 87 (7.0%) were referred back to the ED. The incidence rate of PPCC referrals was 4.2% (95% confidence interval 4.0–4.5).ConclusionsThe PPCC enabled re‐direction of a small proportion of ED presentations. Early results suggest that such patients can be adequately selected and managed at PPCCs.
