We know that working together with other local health and care organisations means we are better able to provide the kind of joined up health and care services that local people want – services which are fair for all and provide good value for money. Find out more about our partnership with Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare (HRCH).
Kingston Hospital and HRCH have developed a set of shared strategic objectives, which we will be reviewing on an annual basis.
