Join the Primary Care Access Programme

Access to primary care is one of the key issues facing our health system. The Primary Care Improvement Portfolio have worked closely with stakeholders to redesignour improvement support offer with a focus on access to care.  The Primary Care Access Programme supports primary care teams to identify the root cause of access issues and use quality improvement methodology to test and embed changes to improve access to care. 

The Primary Care Access Programme is open to expressions of interest from primary care teams including GP clusters, GP practices, pharmacotherapy and multidisciplinary teams:  

  • Cohort 1: 24/10/2022 - 09/12/2022 (in progress) 
  • Cohort 2: 09/01/2023 - 24/02/2023 (open for expressions of interest until 7 November 2022) 
  • Cohort 3: 06/03/2023 - 21/04/2023 (open for expressions of interest until 12 December 2022) 

Teams will receive support to understand their systems and to help improve an aspect of access over a seven-week sprint.
