Are you interested in being 1 of the 12 PCNs who have the opportunity to get involved with group consultation training and support then please get in contact with Stacey Owen at the training hub via email s.owen10@nhs.net.
The rationale for adopting group clinic spread in primary care
There is a strong evidence base for this way of working with patients in primary care. By adopting this practice at scale, practices and PCNs will realise the following benefits:
- Clinician time savings; up to 80% efficiency gains
- Improved QOF achievement; up by 18% after 12 months
- Improved access; more efficient delivery of extended hours appointments
- Patients making more health-related behaviour changes
- A way of overcoming estate limitations using video group clinics (VGCs)
- Improved caregiver job satisfaction, driven by an increased sense of autonomy over delivery of care, deeper relationships with patients and an energising experience of caregiving
- More flexible working options for staff facilitated by VGCs
