The service provides specialist assessment and intervention to both in- and out-patients. The<br />

occupational <strong>the</strong>rapy team has input into <strong>the</strong> Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Programme<br />

(RAMP) as well as <strong>the</strong> Adolescent Transition Service, to assist patients as <strong>the</strong>y move from<br />

paediatric to adult services. The service is part <strong>of</strong> a multidisciplinary team, it <strong>of</strong>fers an<br />

This operates daily from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm in <strong>the</strong> old Glasgow area (and some areas <strong>of</strong> Clyde).<br />

The model is used in some places for return patient appointments. It has proved to be popular<br />

with patients and was highlighted at a recent patient feedback day as top priority. This cannot<br />

be rolled out across <strong>the</strong> board area at <strong>the</strong> moment due to IM&T capability and capacity issues at<br />

<strong>the</strong> call centre. Evening clinics are also available where <strong>the</strong> DNA rates are close to zero. Access<br />

to services will be fur<strong>the</strong>r simplified as part <strong>of</strong> a general AHP redesign.<br />
