Our routines paper won the best paper award at SHOC-OBHC. Great team effort with Damian Hodgson Sharon Spooner KathCheckland Mhorag Goff and Anne McBride #obhc2024

Great stuff from Damian Hodgson and Dr Imelda McDermott looking at skills mix changes in general practice

Thinking statically about skills mix (the usual way) doesn’t help….. thinking routines does!

Headline = change possible through gradual transformation of routines…

Deadline for this research associate post is 29 January. A great opportunity to work with us at CPWS.

Access to UK general practice is a paradox of problems which undermine continuity in favour of speed of access, but which generate more work, leaving little capacity for outreach
