Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare Trust
In 2021, Hounslow Consortium and the five Primary Care Networks became hosted by Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare Trust. As more and more additional roles were being appointed to support our GP surgeries, it presented an opportunity to create a smoother pathway for patients. Essentially by working within the community provider, specialist clinical roles within the PCNs can easily access onwards care pathways when the patient’s needs were out of their clinical scope. In practical terms it means reduced referral time to more specialised services and for diagnostics, as they can be directly requested following a consultation with e.g. an First Contact Practitioner for MSK.
