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.
