Pathway
Pathway is a charity working to improve healthcare for socially excluded people with complex needs.
We create multi-disciplinary teams of health and social care professionals within the NHS, to support patients facing multi-morbidity - a combination of physical health problems, mental health problems and substance use issues, coupled with social exclusions such as homelessness, insecure immigration status or involvement in the sex industry.
Pathway teams have been adopted in 11 facilities across England, supporting thousands of patients every year.
