Early Wins for the service Waiting times for consultant advice slashed! In the six-week pilot period 19/35 practices referred into the community e- clinic. Over 70% of referrals are managed without the need for patients to attend a hospital appointment. During 2015 the average wait for a renal clinic appointment was 64 days. Using the e-clinic the average time to get nephrology advice is 5 days. GPs say A model for future care happening right now in Tower Hamlets! Consultants say We can provide comprehensive management advice whilst avoiding unnecessary duplication of tests.
