Dr Caroline Taylor
NAPC Clinical Chair
I was delighted to attend the RCGP Breakfast Roundtable last week, where key thinkers and leaders, including Sally Warren, Director General of the Ten-Year Plan, gathered to discuss the role of general practice in transforming the NHS.
The discussion centered on the government’s big shifts in healthcare and how general practice can drive change. A key focus was integrated neighbourhood services, and I was proud to share how NAPC is already successfully implementing these models in many areas. By connecting general practice with community and voluntary services, our approach delivers holistic care tailored to local needs, particularly in areas with significant health inequalities.
It was inspiring to see widespread interest in these models, which align with the Ten-Year Plan’s vision for integrated care. Collaboration is critical to achieving these goals, and events like this are essential for aligning strategies and sharing best practices.
NAPC remains committed to leading innovation and ensuring primary care continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the NHS. Together, we can deliver better outcomes for patients and communities.
