This is a freely-available open access publication. Please cite the published version which is available via the DOI link in this record.Telephone triage is proposed as a method of managing increasing demand for primary care. Previous studies have involved small samples in limited settings, and focused on nurse roles. Evidence is limited regarding the impact on primary care workload, costs, and patient safety and experience when triage is used to manage patients requesting same-day consultations in general practice.NIHR Health Technology Assessment programm
