Findings of Survey of GP practices and primary care staff
22nd December 2022
The results of the online survey about the current models of care with care homes used at GP practices across the East of England region are now published and available online. These findings give a better picture of the current relationships between primary care and care home. The full report can be read on the Outputs page. The findings were also presented at the THIS space 2022 event and a recording of the talk is also on the Outputs page.
Next phase of the project has started!
27th April 2022
We have ended the survey of the GP practices and primary care staff about the current models of care provided to care homes. We are finishing the analysis now and hope to publish the findings soon. Watch this space for more information.
We are now recruiting for interviews with select GP practices and care homes. Participants will share their views on how to improve access to GP-led services and support the relationship between care homes and primary care. The information we collect will help develop a vision for primary care which enables consistent access to healthcare that reflects care home residents’ needs and priorities and how that can be achieved within current structures and resources. Contact us if you would like to know more.
