The contribution of at scale primary care to system working

The 2022 Fuller Stocktake report of primary care and integrated care systems focuses on the collaboration and co-ordination of multidisciplinary teams at a neighbourhood level to tackle inequalities, build capability, and meet demand and support the health and wellbeing of communities through a population-based approach. It advocates improving personalised care services, enhancing preventive care through general practice, and focusing on workforce and data as key enablers of change. The case studies in this briefing bring these ideas to life and demonstrate the ways in which larger-scale primary care providers are, and can be, integral to NHS services working together in neighbourhoods, in place-based partnerships and in systems.
