About this event

  • Date and time Wed 11 May 2022 from 9:00am to 3:00pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by General Practice with Primary Healthcare

Shortages of family physicians and general practitioners to meet the healthcare needs of a growing population have resulted in moving to a more collaborative and inter-professional approach to the delivery of effective services in primary care settings. The transformation of roles in primary care has encouraged a multi-disciplinary approach with allied healthcare professionals expanding their skills to meet this demand. This conference will explore success stories and innovative practices when healthcare teams work together to deliver patient-driven models of care.

This conference aims to highlight the success stories of global medical colleagues, in providing innovative practices, using an inter-professional approach to deliver care in the community and general practice.

Objectives

  • To determine how integrated care could tackle the labyrinth of scattered health services and improve patient outcomes.
  • To explore whether the reconfiguration of primary health care, which has multiple professionals with advanced skills working in teams and supported by digital technology, enables seamless coordination of services to be delivered. 
  • Explore current innovations in practice by healthcare professionals working in inter-professional teams within advanced roles globally and consider whether these success stories can be adapted into local healthcare systems in the UK. 

Who Should Attend?
All healthcare professionals and stakeholders in primary care settings inclusive of general practitioners, nurses, nurse practitioners, practice nurses, pharmacists, physician associates, midwives, physiotherapists, occupational health therapists, practice managers, educational leads and transformational leads.

This event was organised by Jeshni Amblum-Almer.
