Description

Due to the urgency, a waiver was signed and awarded to Little Park Surgery (Hounslow), for the provision of Asylum Seeker IAC Primary Care Provision. This service has been put in place in recognition of the emerging urgent clinical need of the Service Users (SUs) at The Atrium Hotel (TW14 0AW). The hotel is an Overnight Initial Accommodation Centre (OIAC) with a maximum capacity of 1100 SU's. SUs are placed by The Home Office following arriving into the country and initial assessments conducted following docking. The aims of the service are: - To provide immediate and necessary Primary Care provision for service users residing at the Atrium Hotel. - To prevent unnecessary attendances at West Middlesex University Hospital UTC and A&E. - To reduce health inequalities in asylum seeker populations in comparison with the general public and to allow for provision of general medical services to this cohort whilst residing in interim hotels.
