Bright Ideas from Federations 2017-2019
The big organisational changes to tackle the problems of the NHS being proposed by the CCG and others are going to take time to implement, but we have a capacity problem now. We know that practices are starting their own local projects to deal with the demand and workforce problems everyone is facing and we are capturing some of those initiatives from Somerset federations to inform all.
This is a work in progress as we receive the new initiatives please check back regularly (most recent items scroll to the bottom of the page)
