RCGP president Professor Victoria Tzortziou Brown on the state of general practice, continuity and neighbourhoods
12:32
2:01
This is our first state of general practice report and I'm really pleased that we are establishing a baseline against which we can track progress in future years.
2:14
It comes at a particularly important time because governments across the UK have ambitious plans to transform healthcare as we know.
2:26
In England we hear a lot about the three major shifts from hospital to community, from analogue to digital and from sickness to prevention.
2:45
Does general practice currently have the workforce and the resources and the infrastructure that are required to make these three shifts a reality? And the findings of our report, which are based on a survey that we did of over 1,500 GPs, but also another evidence that we collected.

Against that backdrop of the government's obsession with access, how can the College convince politicians that continuity is important and how can we kind of embed that into policy going forwards?
Now is a golden opportunity to change primary care

Kamran AbbasiHOST
My question to you really is why are you writing, why have you written this and why now?
2:33
The government's ambition to move care into communities, to focus on prevention, on digital innovation, and also reduce health inequity is one that as a college we strongly support and have always supported.
2:51
But the implementation choices being made now could determine the shape of the NHS for generations to come.
3:00
And across different periods of college leadership, the authors have seen repeated reorganizations.
3:07
And the lesson is that changing structures is not the same as improving care.
3:14
So for example, digital can improve convenience and can improve efficiency, but it doesn't by itself create clinical capacity.
