FHFT & Primary Care Interface Development Collaborative Working Reference Guide
Please find our jointly developed ‘FHFT and Primary Care Collaborative Working Reference Guide.’ The purpose of the document is to strengthen the interface arrangements across Primary and Secondary Care and in turn optimise patient care. The guide outlines agreed ways of working for the different clinical professionals within primary and secondary care and covers a wide range of interface situations summarised below. Within the document these can be clicked on to take you to the relevant section:

Getting in touch
FHFT Communications with Primary Care
The below diagram shows the main ways FHFT communicates key messages with primary care and then re-iterates these messages in other forums (depending on the relevance and importance).
N.b. If a communication is Place-specific but not high enough importance/impact for the SCC route AND the item has missed the cut off for the weekly GP bulletin (above) – the communication will be sent via the ICB Primary Care Managers to disseminate to their practices. This should be requested rarely, and we would request confirmation of receipt of the email and distribution of the communication.
* The GP/PC Bulletin & SCC are also shared with Bucks Practices via the Bucks management / communication structures
Frimley ICB Primary Care Bulletin
All GP/Primary Care Bulletins can be found at: NHS Frimley - GP bulletin archive (icb.nhs.uk). The bulletin is managed by Frimley ICB but includes key messages from FHFT to Primary Care.
