Interesting start to the parallel session on continuity. @patrickburch.bsky.social discussing his qualitative research. Patients who have experienced continuity know the value of it, those who haven’t haven’t necessarily considered it. #sapc2025 @sapc.ac.uk

Great presentation by Polly Duncan on primary care for housebound patients. What factors are associated with being housebound / who is most likely to be housebound? How can health care services better support their patients who are housebound? #sapc2025 @capcbristol.bsky.social @sapc.ac.uk

Conclusion from the GP-SUS and OATH dissemination event. General practice is not broken. The media narrative that it is is harmful. There is a lot that works. We need to build on our strengths, focus on meeting the needs of the population and build system capacity to do this.

After a morning of games (snakes and telephones, an inescape room) and an empathy building exercise, the afternoon began with an expert panel discussion. The provocation: General practice is broken… should we concede that people cannot have an appointment with their doctor? 1/3

Attending the fantastic GP-SUS and OATH dissemination event today. Whatever happened to all those attempts to change access to general practice? What are the realities of access for patients and staff? Can we optimise access by looking at it through the lens of human fit? 1/3
