PHL Group was founded
in 2009 by a team of commercial partners and experienced General Practitioners
with a clear vision of providing services that would contribute to and benefit
the local healthcare economy. PHL (formerly
known as Hampshire Doctors on Call) runs Integrated Urgent Care, which evolved
from the former Out of Hours model, for localities in Hampshire and the Isle of
Wight. All of the core services which look after patients with an urgent healthcare
need are joined up together, and PHL work closely with system partners such as South
Central Ambulance Service. The services we operate include call handling,
telephone clinical assessment, out of hours home visiting services and some face-to-face
Primary Care appointments services in Hampshire. In 2021 a newly formed
Healthcare Division was created and incorporates PHLs Urgent Care, Primary
Care and Youla Care Concierge Services. The new division combines PHL's
healthcare operations into one team and utilises internal and external
resources efficiently to achieve our organisations vision: to be an innovative
healthcare enabler, known for providing a range of high-quality care.
