Innovation Agency

Clinicians in primary and secondary care in Cheshire and Merseyside have signed up to a new protocol setting out principles to guide how they will interact with each other. The guide is aimed at improving communications between staff in hospitals and GP surgeries, for the benefit of patients.  Innovation Agency Chief Executive and GP Dr Phil Jennings finds out why and what this is aiming to solve, from the protocol authors, Professor Rowan Pritchard-Jones, Medical Director for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside; and Dr Jonathan Griffiths, GP and Primary Care Advisor to the Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership.
