Public Engagement: Kingston Hospital and Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare (HRCH) merger
To help deliver the joint strategy, Kingston Hospital is planning to merge with Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare (HRCH) later this year, subject to NHS England and Secretary of State approval. Read more about the merger.
Kingston Hospital and HRCH are inviting patients to share their experiences. As they move towards an integrated organisation, their ambition is to ensure the new organisation – Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust – provides the best possible care.
Listening to patients and local people is central to this. At the ‘In Your Shoes’ listening sessions, you will have the opportunity to meet with staff and to tell them about your experiences of our hospital and community services.
