The Urgent Community Response Team (UCR) is a rapid assessment, diagnostic, treatment service to reduce unscheduled admissions for people with complex health needs, exacerbation of long-term conditions and frailty. Patients referred to the service are triaged to be seen within 2 hours, or same day for urgent assessment.
