Value; following negotiations between both Parties, KCHFT is satisfied with the service and value for money.
Quality and Innovation; Weald View Medical Practice provide a sufficient medical requirement in the wards to support initial clinical assessment, support for prescribing, assessment and intervention for clinical deterioration or not thriving, and discharge planning to meet the needs of the patient cohort to a satisfactory standard
