This article examines a liaison service between an inner London hospital and primary care. It looks at the service's model and examines how this works and identifies patients who will engage with primary care services. It is hoped the service can capture patients in hospital and engage them effectively in community services, preventing future hospital care admissions. This is illustrated using data collected from a three-month snapshot of the service and two case studies.
