International and national health policies advocate greater integration of emergency and community care. The Physician Response Unit (PRU) responds to 999 calls ‘taking the Emergency Department to the patient’. Operational since 2001, the service was reconfigured in September 2017. This article presents service activity data and implications for the local health economy from the first year since remodelling. https://emj.bmj.com/content/37/9/530 This is an Open Access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited and the use is non-commercial. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2018-208394ae974a485f413a2113503eed53cd6c53
