Enhanced support in care homes

GPs, working together with care homes and community services, now deliver enhanced health in care homes. This ensures consistency, improves the quality of care, increases the support provided to care home staff, and focuses on preventing ill health.

Key benefits of this approach include:

• Better access to GP and other community services
• Alignment of care homes to GP practices
• Greater community of care for patients
• Additional support for care home staff

“This is very worthwhile and has helped build up a good relationship with the homes. In my opinion, it has reduced the number of calls and queries we get.” Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Brookroyd Surgery
