Primary Care or Community Service Redesign Initiative

Spreading video group clinics : NHS England and Improvement General Practice Nurse Ten Point Plan National Team with Redmoor-ELC Partnership

Consultations are the DNA of primary care. By changing from one to one to group consultations, clinicians and patients grow and learn. In 2020 NHSEI’s General Practice Nurse Ten Point Plan team and The Redmoor-ELC Partnership supported over 500 GP practices to test and spread video group clinics (VGCs). This helped primary care and patients to cope and stay connected through Lockdown and beyond. The team refined a flexible, interactive learning programme and assured indemnity cover alongside robust confidentiality and consent processes. After six months, 74% say they will continue with VGCs. Over 2000 people are being trained in 2021/22
