Verbatim
“proactive, personalised care for the people most at risk is where general practice adds great value”
“This is a valuable first step, and we'd like to see national policy go even further.”
“If neighbourhood health is the building, then the contract is only the scaffolding that we put up to build it. Spend all your energy arguing about the scaffolding, and you can miss that nobody has yet agreed what the building is even for.”
“Sometimes it takes a bit of time - and neighbourhood working is a massive shift.”
“Some of the elements of it are quite small and transactional, either in terms of processes or work that needs to be done - and that in itself adds a burden”
