About us
PHL Group was founded in 2009 by a team of commercial partners and experienced General Practitioners with a clear vision of providing services that would contribute to and benefit the local healthcare economy. PHL (formerly known as Hampshire Doctors on Call) runs Integrated Urgent Care, which evolved from the former Out of Hours model, for localities in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. All of the core services which look after patients with an urgent healthcare need are joined up together, and PHL works closely with system partners such as South Central Ambulance Service. The services we operate include call handling, telephone clinical assessment, out of hours home visiting services, and some face-to-face Primary Care appointments services in Hampshire. In 2021, a newly formed Healthcare Division was created and incorporates PHL's Urgent Care, Primary Care, and Youla Care Concierge Services. The new division combines PHL's healthcare operations into one team and utilises internal and external resources efficiently to achieve our organisation's vision: to be an innovative healthcare enabler, known for providing a range of high-quality care.
PHL Group aims to assist candidates with their transition into a career in the thriving and fast-paced private healthcare industry. We are looking for talented individuals that want to join us on our journey to becoming the fastest growing, most trusted healthcare organisation.
