Developing Primary care key projects Productive General Practice – Roll out of key principles Education and training – Develop programme of training for clinicians and practice staff to support future model of care e.g. shared decision making

Patients will be at the centre, supported by tailored education, easy-to-use technology and a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians that supports them to manage their own condition(s) (or as parents/carers) at home and in the community. When exacerbations do happen, patients will have support to rapidly access appropriate specialist clinical expertise including diagnostics, to prevent admission to hospital where possible or alternatively ensure individuals are supported into hospital and back home again.

Older people will live life to the full in their communities and stay as fit and well as they can to the end of their lives and, if they need support, they can exercise real choice and control about the nature of that support. There will be a seamless system of integration between health and social care with a real focus on prevention, anticipation and supported self-reliance. All parts of this system will be talking to each other with appropriate sharing of information which will mean individuals will only have to tell their story once. When hospital treatment is required, and cannot be provided in a community setting, there will be a focus on ensuring that people get back into their home or community environment as soon as appropriate, with minimal risk or readmission. Whatever the setting, care will be provided to the highest standards of quality and safety, with the person at the centre of all decisions.
