Taunton and Somerset Foundation Trust – Primary Care Paediatrics

The trust developed paediatric clinics in a primary care setting, helping to shorten the patient pathway and improve patient care.

This has enabled families to receive an expert opinion without having to travel large distances to their district general hospital.

Judges were impressed with the trust’s strong ambition and leadership. The panel really felt that this project could be scaled up and replicated in other specialties.
