The King's Fund: Navigating the evolving role of primary care in communities
This King's Fund will provide practical guidance and expert insight into the primary care access plan which marks the first step towards the vision in Fuller Stocktake. Attendees of this conference will learn about the government ambitions for primary care to recover from the pandemic by cutting NHS waiting lists and focusing on three key areas: giving GPs new digital tools, freeing up GP appointments by funding pharmacists to do more and providing more GP staff and appointments. The webinar will bring together GPs, practice staff and senior management and will help you to confidently manage competing agendas and play an active role in shaping local services.
