"We know that through collaborative working we can achieve the best possible health outcomes for patients."
So why work with us:
-
We aim to work with system partners on the co-design of services.
-
We want you to involve us in any new pathways or services that affect our patients.
-
No one is closer to knowing patients than their GPs as over 90% of care is delivered in general practice in Lincolnshire.
-
This is our opportunity to build integrated person centred care rather than silo working.
-
We are the voice of primary care, already working closely with the Lincolnshire Medical Committee (LMC) and NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).
Example of how it might work:
The mental health needs of the population are not always being met by existing services, and low level mental health presents overwhelmingly to general practice.
Because GPs have to refer to a different organisation with a waiting list, patients are at risk of deterioration, where some immediate mental health expertise within general practice could have provided the support they needed and prevented deterioration.
We can work with commissioners and mental health providers to redesign the mental health pathway/provision so that population health needs are met.
