The E&UC has also been able to draw on a considerable body of evidence from UCCs and
EDs already operational in NWL. Taken together, NWL clinicians, commissioners and
providers possess extensive experience of designing, commissioning and delivering
emergency and urgent care services. The E&UC CIG has sought to harness this by building
a detailed understanding of what works well in practice and what could be improved.
7.11 Consultation
In addition to the independent evidence gathering activities set out above, the E&UC CIG
drew on feedback from the formal Shaping a Healthier Future consultation to develop E&UC
recommendations.
The Shaping a Healthier Future consultation was held between July and October 2012. A
total of 17,022 responses were received. During the consultation period, the “Shaping a
healthier future” team attended or arranged over 200 events which included two road-shows
in each of the eight North West London boroughs as well as an additional roadshow in the
neighbouring boroughs of Camden, Richmond and Wandsworth; public meetings and
debates; GP events and other events for staff.
This section summarises those consultation responses pertaining to emergency and urgent
care. For a full discussion of the Shaping a healthier future consultation, please refer to

published by Ipsos Mori on 28 th November 2012.
