Pathfinder Healthcare Developments (PHD)

Who we are
Pathfinder Healthcare Developments (PHD)is a Community Interest Company (CIC).This means we reinvest our profits and assets for the public good.
We have been operating as a CIC since January 2008 following an innovative ten-year partnership between Cape Hill Medical Centre and Smethwick Medical Centre. These two inner-city health centres own PHD and have equal shares in it.
This combined size, knowledge and drive, gives us the ability to be really innovative and creative and means we can offer different ways of delivering health services to suit local people’s needs. It also puts us in a strong position when bidding for contracts such as:
PMS Plus;
Additional Personal Medical Services (APMS)
Local Enhanced Services (LES)
Directed Enhanced Services (DES)
Our joint management of current PMS and PMS-Plus budgets stands at almost £4 million per year.
What we do
PHD has a long history of successful collaboration with hospitals and the professionals who work there. This has meant providing a range of ‘hospital’ services in our local health centres instead. This benefits patients because they don’t have to travel to get their treatment and it offers a stimulating and rewarding working environment for clinical and non-clinical staff who can develop specialist skills and services.
We consistently perform well above national benchmark clinical standards. We also have an excellent history of working within the local health economy and with partner organisations to deliver new ways of tackling health inequalities.




Both surgeries have wheelchair access and Smethwick Medical Centre has adapted toilet facilities.
