A shift to multidisciplinary teams in general practice: What this means for people experiencing health inequalities and frequent users of primary care services
The model of general practice is changing and, at the core of this, general practice is moving away from a model of ‘seeing a GP’ to a model that is ‘consulting with the multi-disciplinary team’. Primary care teams include over 15+ skilled roles, yet for many people accessing care, ‘going to the GP’ (the place) is synonymous with ‘seeing a GP’ (a doctor who is a general practitioner).

In our work at National Voices, every day we hear about ways in which primary care professionals have made a positive difference to people living with mental and physical health conditions and disability.

We find ourselves at a crossroads.
