New Models of Care: bringing general practice and communities together

The SW AHSN would like to invite you to our ‘New Models of Care: bringing general practice and communities together’ taking place at Exeter Racecourse on 18 July 2017. This will not be an ordinary event. We intend to run it as a drop–in session between 14:00 and 19:00. We will structure the networking and learning opportunity so you get best value for your time.

This event will explore the common ground and interdependency between:

• General practice: workforce planning, quality improvement;
• Social prescribing: linking to communities;
• Community development: ensuring all communities are resilient and
• Integrated working including multi-disciplinary teams, neighbourhoods teams.

We believe that there could be transformative potential in these activities being aligned at a local level to; build resilient communities, reduce poor health outcomes and inequality and reduce the pressure and burden on GPs. Enabling this is digital technology alongside new finance and funding models. In amongst this complex picture we hope to stimulate and allow conversations to flourish around what is working, and what is not, perhaps revealing New Models of Care?

The agenda will be shaped on what you would like to learn more about. Therefore, we are requesting that you submit an expression of interest by registering for a ticket and choosing what time frame you may attend, so we can align it to the audience. 

We will also be organising sharing opportunities via social media prior and during the event to give delegates the opportunity to ask questions and create discussions. The session will then help to shape communities of practice so you are able to take the learning and continue to expand and develop this in your organisations or practices.
