Looking for new models of care in primary care

The Kings Fund have started a new project looking at examples of different delivery models of general practice from around the world with the view to develop a set of design principles to guide the development of new models of care for general practice as part of whole-system redesign.

The project will explore a range of different models of general practice delivery from the United Kingdom and abroad, including:

  • multidisciplinary team-based models that use a wider range of professionals – including mental health professionals – to provide primary care
  • segmented models that are designed to address the needs of specific population groups
  • in-practice segmentation models that organise work within a practice around different population groups
  • community-centred models.

A final report is planned for late spring 2018. You can follow the project on the Kings Fund website here.
