How do you solve problems relating to access to general practice? (11 December 2024)

Summary

In this blog, Sarah Clark, Research Communications Manager at THIS Institute, looks at the ongoing challenge of trying to improve access to GP services for patients. She reflects on analysis by THIS Institute and the Health Foundation which identified what we called a “zombie solution”—where some options are revisited time and time again even though they never seem to make a real difference for patients. She looks at the issue and how to move beyond this pattern.
