Today, Ben is joined by both Conor Burke and Simon Abrams from Urgent Health UK. UHUK is a long-standing membership organisation, committed to providing the highest quality of care for patients. UHUK’s members provide out-of-hours and clinical assessment services whilst sharing expertise and knowledge amongst the members, as well as benchmarking their quality against each other. Ben, Conor & Simon discuss the recent changes, how they have affected their members and the potential tension it could cause between members and General Practices. Conor and Simon kindly share their advice for PCNs and Practices who want to create partnerships in the future.
