One who missed Barchu in its regular place at Shacharit may repeat it with a minyan at a later point. This repetition is known as Pores Al Shema. Additionally, there is a Halacha that in certain circumstances a person who missed Chazarat Hashatz can say part of Shmoneh Esrei outloud and recite Kedusha outside the regular constructs of a Tefillah B'tzibbur.
