In order to provide better healthcare for people with lots of different health needs, CCG plans involve:

1. Helping patients to access the care they need more quickly

2. Supporting GPs to take a more proactive approach to keep people healthy for longer

3. Encouraging GPs to work more closely with others to deliver this proactive care

Transforming Primary Care

1. Helping patients to access the care they need more quickly

• A key aim is to tackle health inequalities by helping patients to have fast access to advice from a broader range of clinical and non clinical support

• General Practices will have teams that will deliver “same day access”, giving patients a responsive, flexible service 8am – 8pm, seven days a week.

• People have the choice of face to face consultations at home, in their pharmacy, or in their GP practice

2. Supporting GPs to take a more proactive approach to keep people

healthy for longer

Being more proactive means GPs:1. Systematically identifying patients at risk of deteriorating

health and/or wellbeing including those at risk of an early preventable death

2. Working with the patients and their families to identify what those patients need to improve their health and wellbeing

3. Working with a range of local organisations to enable the patients and their families to access the support they need to maintain/improve their health and wellbeing

3. Encouraging GPs to work more closely with others

National research and guidance shows that general practices working together in “clusters” are better able to join up (integrate) with other local services such as:

• Local care of the elderly services

• Local mental health services

• Social care

• Community nurses

• Voluntary sector services
