Increasing and complex demand on primary care
Our population is increasing and getting older More people are being diagnosed with one or more long-term health conditions like diabetes and dementia Frail and older people increasingly have more complex needs Insert name of presentation on Master Slide

What does the evidence say?
In order for primary and community care to be delivered from a population health perspective then; Provision would need to be scaled up, delivering through federations/super-partnerships, and variation and inequality would need to be reduced. Planning and commissioning needs to be needs based, make better use of community assets and aim to integrate services Insert name of presentation on Master Slide

What does the evidence say
For this to happen, and for change to accelerate, there needs to be; A clear vision Better engagement with citizens and stakeholders Pragmatic change at all levels A plan that is relevant to all Resources – including people Insert name of presentation on Master Slide

Implementing prudent healthcare in primary care
Greater focus on prevention, promoting wellness and healthy behaviours, improving community cohesion Prudent Prescribing Shared goal setting and shared decision making (better outcomes & use of evidence) Working with secondary care – alternatives to referral, improving access to specialists & patient experience Refraining from interventions with low clinical value and no robust evidence base Insert name of presentation on Master Slide

How? Leadership Organisational development Clinical Engagement
Values driven working and recruitment culture A greater emphasis on patient-set goals and priorities Exploring lifestyle interventions rather than medical responses Understanding (and delivering) what matters most to people who use the service Insert name of presentation on Master Slide

WG – Primary Care Plan From the Ministers introduction;
“No GP shuold routinely be undertaking any activity which could, just as appropriately be undertaken by an advanced nurse, a clinical pharmacist or an advanced practioner paramedic” “At the centre of this plan is the notion of co-production – the recognition that health outcomes are maximised when the contribution of the patients as well as practitioners is captured and put to work” Insert name of presentation on Master Slide
27
WG Plan – 5 areas for action
Planning care locally Improving access and quality Equitable access A skilled local workforce Strong leadership Insert name of presentation on Master Slide
