The 2022 GP: A Vision for General Practice in the future NHS RCGP May 2013

In this report the RCGP looks to the future of health care in the next decade – how it will change, and how general practice can help meet the challenges of this new era. Its action plan defines six ambitions for general practice, in partnership with stakeholders:

• Promote a greater understanding of generalist care and demonstrate its value to the health service
• Develop new generalist-led integrated services to deliver personalised, cost-effective care
• Expand the capacity of the general practice workforce to meet population and service needs
• Enhance the skills and flexibility of the general practice workforce to provide complex care
• Support the organisational development of community-based practices, teams and networks, to support flexible models of care
• Increase community-based academic activity to improve effectiveness, research and quality.
