Outsourcing for NHS Trusts and ICBs

Outsourcing patient care involves commissioning independent healthcare providers, such as Your Medical Services (YMS), to deliver routine diagnostics, outpatient clinics, and minor procedures. This allows NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to focus on more complex and specialised treatments. Outsourcing aligns with the NHS’s strategy of shifting non-complex care from secondary (hospital-based) settings to primary and community care. By outsourcing services, NHS Trusts can reduce the pressure on hospitals, enabling them to prioritise critical cases. This model has successfully expanded capacity in community settings, reduced waiting times, and improved access to care closer to patients’ homes.

Our mission...

Our mission is to relieve elective pressure on NHS Trusts and ICBs by delivering non-complex care in community settings, reducing public spend, and freeing up hospital resources. Your Medical Services partners with NHS facilities to offer services closer to patients’ homes at reduced costs against the national tariff. This approach supports the NHS’s goals of improving access, reducing referral to treatment (RTT) times, and enhancing patient outcomes.

Benefits of Outsourcing with Your Medical Services

Outsourcing elective services to Your Medical Services offers several key benefits for NHS Trusts and ICBs:

Cost-Effective Care: Community-based settings typically have lower operating costs compared to large hospitals, allowing YMS to deliver consultant-led services at sub-tariff prices.
Quicker Access to Services: Unlike hospital settings, community providers often have shorter waiting times for consultant-led care. By outsourcing non-complex services to YMS, NHS Trusts can reduce waits for community-based care, improving referral to treatment (RTT) times and overall patient flow.
Consistent High-Quality Care: YMS provides consultant-led care in community settings, ensuring that the quality of services matches that of acute hospitals. Patients can expect the same standard of care, delivered more conveniently and efficiently in their local community.
