High impact changes for practice teams

  • Last modified date:
    9 June 2010

The NHS Institute's primary care/long term conditions team worked with the Improvement Foundation to produce a set of recommendations for practice teams locally.

 

The recommendations are:

  • promote patient self care and self management
  • improve the management of patients with long term conditions
  • improve patient access
  • improve care for patients by redesigning roles in general practice
  • use data and information to drive improvement
  • improve care through systematic review of patient feedback
  • avoid unnecessary follow-ups in primary and secondary care
  • provide services closer to patients
  • maximise the use of practice-based commissioning.


The publication includes details of each recommendation with case studies and tips on how to achieve change. Available to download from the NHS Institute website and from the Improvement Foundation website.
