The Consensus on the North Central London (NCL) Primary and Secondary Care Interface is a set of principles to guide NHS staff in NCL, working across the interface between primary and secondary care, on providing seamless care for patients.
The Interface Consensus has been developed in consultation with general practice, NCL ICB staff, including the medicine optimisation team, Healthwatch, Local Medical Committees, general practice provider alliance and four acute trusts – Whittington Health, UCLH, Royal Free Group and North Middlesex University Hospital.
Launched in January 2024, the consensus document signifies our agreement to working in greater partnership across primary and secondary care to improve the patient journey, experience and outcomes from services.
It contains useful guidance around delivering standardised processes on referrals, discharge summaries and more.
The full Consensus on NCL Primary and Secondary Care Interface is available to download from this page, along with the Consultant to Consultant Referral Protocol.
