  2. What does that mean? • Unscheduled care is any unplanned contact with the NHS by a person requiring or seeking help, care or advice. It follows that such demand can occur at any time, and that services must be available to meet this demand 24 hours a day. Unscheduled care includes urgent care and emergency care.1 1Commissioning a new delivery model for unscheduled care in London Urgent Care – needs prompt attention but is not life threatening Emergency Care – has life threatening injuries or conditions
