Clinical insourcing services
Clinical insourcing allows the contracting authority to effectively manage demand peaks in service requirement by securing extra capacity to meet the increased need.
Used as a short to a medium-term solution, insourcing ensures that Trusts can retain capacity planning in accordance with local demand. Accordingly, patients can be seen within a traditional hospital environment or through virtual consultations held via remote videoconference or call.
The benefits of insourcing
This approach delivers many benefits including robust patient pathways without reliance on stretched existing resource which in turn provides reassurance and credibility of service delivery within local health populations

What is insourcing – Our Service
