GP/Hospital Clinical Handover Project
Overview
The GP/Hospital Clinical Handover Project will build on the existing work to develop elements that are transferable and will aid implementation that is locally appropriate.
It will feature close engagement of clinical and non-clinical representatives from General Practice, hospitals and patient and carer groups to develop a system-wide focus on handover between General Practice and hospitals.
The aim is to improve two-way communication between General Practice and hospitals.
