Accessible Information is information which is able to be read or received and understood by the individual or group for which it is intended.

The Equality Act 2010 places a duty on all service providers to take steps or make reasonable adjustments in order to avoid putting a disabled PERSON at a substantial disadvantage when compared to a PERSON who is not disabled.

SCCI 1605 Accessible Information requires that Health and Social Care Organisations identify and record the information and communication support needs of PATIENTS and service users (and where appropriate their carers), where these needs relate to or are caused by a DISABILITY, impairment or sensory loss. These Organisations are also required to take action to ensure that these needs are met.

The information and communication support needs cover four areas:

• communication support
• requires specific contact method
• requires communication professional
• requires specific information format

For further information on Accessible Information, see the NHS England website at: Accessible Information Standard.

An Appointment Request is a type of SERVICE REQUEST for an APPOINTMENT.

Each originating request may result in one or more APPOINTMENT OFFERS.

The originating request may be from:

• a PATIENT self-referral REFERRAL REQUEST
• a REFERRAL REQUEST from one Organisation or CARE PROFESSIONAL to another Organisation or CARE PROFESSIONAL
• follow up to a previous APPOINTMENT at which attendance or contact has taken place related to the same REFERRAL REQUEST
• an APPOINTMENT at which attendance did not take place for whatever reason, requiring a new APPOINTMENT to be made
• an invitation for an APPOINTMENT as part of a HEALTH PROGRAMME
• an ACTIVITY which requires an APPOINTMENT to be made for further care or treatment.

Each Appointment Request should be reviewed by the receiving CARE PROFESSIONAL, Organisation or SERVICE to decide whether an offer of an APPOINTMENT should be made.

It is on this date it is considered that the PATIENT has been added to the Out-Patient Waiting List for the APPOINTMENT with the expectation that it will take place.

When it is decided that an offer of an APPOINTMENT should be made then one or more APPOINTMENT OFFER should be offered each of which will record a separate and different APPOINTMENT DATE OFFERED and APPOINTMENT TIME OFFERED to the PATIENT.

The APPOINTMENT DATE OFFERED and APPOINTMENT TIME OFFERED of the APPOINTMENT OFFER equate to the allocated APPOINTMENT SLOT.

When more than one date is offered for the same Appointment Request, the PATIENT can choose which date and time to accept. APPOINTMENT ACCEPTED DATE records the date that the offer is accepted. When multiple dates are offered, the PATIENT should only be allowed to select one of them.
