What is the Consultant-GP Partnership Group?
The Consultant-GP Partnership Group brings together hospital consultants with local GPs to identify and resolve any clinical interface issues between secondary and primary care, contributing to maintenance of strong working relationships and open communication between trust consultants and local GPs.
Some of the responsibilities and duties of the group are:
- to discuss any issues that arise between the trust and primary care services that affect the effective integration of patient care services. The focus is the resolution of any issues that may hamper day-to-day clinical interaction
- to focus on influencing and shaping practical issues to improve local clinical pathways within the integrated care system
- to assess and comment on new pathways for integration of patient care between primary and secondary care services issued by the hospital and community trusts
- to discuss ways of reducing workload between hospital and primary care clinicians
The group is chaired by Tom Gillham – Associate Medical Director for Primary Care
