For digital transformation to work for general practice, we need to get the basics right first – rolling IT infrastructure and software upgrades for all practices so that GP IT is never out of date. GPs and their teams need to be trained and supported in adopting new and effective technologies into their practice, and evaluation and regulatory frameworks must keep pace with rapidly evolving digital technology.
We need an expanded workforce, both GPs and the multidisciplinary practice team, and they need to be properly in their roles. We need enhanced GP training to reflect the complexities of expert medical generalism, as well as properly funded training and support for the wider practice team.
We need an expansion of the know how and capacity of general practice to carry out research and innovation to support the future delivery of high-quality patient care.
