As chair of the Fuller Report workstream focused on data, population health management, demand/capacity, risk stratification and health inequalities, GP Partner and Clinical Chair of the Greater Peterborough Network, Dr Neil Modha is well placed to offer further insight into the objectives and outcomes of the report, and what it really means for the general practice of the future. Fortunately, Ben has managed to grab 23 minutes of Neil’s time to discuss some of the key takeaways such as; when and how do we embed some of the report’s recommendations, how do we adapt these to ensure we are able to meet local needs, how do these fit within the new backdrop of integrated care, and what are the expectations of primary care now, and in the future?
