The NHS 10-Year Plan: Threat or opportunity for general practice

A new direction for the NHS has been set! The 10 Year Plan outlines major changes in how care will be delivered across the system. For general practice, this presents both opportunity and threat. This event will explore what the plan means for practices, partnerships and the future shape of primary care. We’ll look at how GPs can respond to evolving models such as Neighbourhood Health Centres and community-based multidisciplinary teams, and consider the practical implications for the way we work, lead and collaborate. All GPs welcome to attend.
