Planned Care

The Planned Care programme of work is split into 3 categories and includes, diagnostics, cancer pathways (including screening) and elective pathways (outpatient services and planned surgical procedures).

Elective care refers to medical treatments or procedures that are planned and are not emergencies. It includes things like routine check-ups, scheduled surgeries (like hip replacements or cataract surgery), and diagnostic tests (like scans or blood tests). Other terms you might see used interchangeably with elective care are “non-emergency care” or “planned care”. 

We are in the process of developing our elective strategy for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, if you want to be involved in shaping the future then please email ssotics.comms@staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk.
