Outpatient Network is helping NHS Trusts deliver timely diagnostics and outpatient care for respiratory patients.

Outpatient Network

A Trusted Partner in NHS

Clinical Insourcing

Outpatient Network offers a flexible and fully managed respiratory insourcing solution to NHS Trusts across the UK. From outpatient clinics to complex diagnostics and sleep studies, we help Trusts increase capacity, reduce waiting times, and deliver high-quality care without disruption to internal services.

Our respiratory programmes are built around patient needs and Trust performance targets — helping services meet DMO1 and RTT standards while reducing pressure on overstretched clinical teams.
