Where are we now? April 2012 – the All Party Parliamentary Group on Primary Care & Public Health held a roundtable discussion on: Ten years on from Wanless, how “fully-engaged” are we? some success in meeting smoking cessation targets but a rise in other serious public health challenges (obesity, alcohol) huge reductions in treatment waiting times (although is this changing?) but GP consultation rates have risen as people still do not self-care no shift in resources out of hospitals no switch of activity from GPs to pharmacies we still do not have no good information to support personal decisions and the ability to have consistency of care ‘’ the rhetoric of engagement has risen – but paternalistic services continue and the public remains dependent on these’’
What can we do???? Move from cure to prevention People at the centre, instead of “what's the matter” ask “what matters to you” Healthy people, healthy place, healthy communities Healthy policy (health equity and health impact) Collaboration (service improvement, efficiency, resilience) Agree priorities for action
