Big qual study on access to general practice Changes linked to 10 year plan offered some benefits, but also unintended effects—including undermining continuity and human connection, fragmentation of care, and widening inequities Careful design, implementation, and evaluation of new services needed

New data suggest the public's top priority for the NHS is improving GP access But government's headline NHS pledge is reducing elective waiting times Hospitals risk crowding out other priorities Polling @healthfoundation.bsky.social @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social: www.health.org.uk/reports-and-...
