It must meet the national Integrated Urgent Care specification. The combined Face-to-Face services forming part of the Integrated Urgent Care service include: - 4 Local Urgent Treatment Centre(s) (UTC) - Out-of-Hours Face-to-Face service (previously known as GP Out-of-Hours service) The Provider of the UTC/Out-of-Hours Face-to-Face service will be expected to deliver an integrated working model of four Urgent Treatment Centres across North Kent and Medway and a GP Out of Hours service (base and home visiting).
