NHS services are not just about treating sickness, they’re about preventing and mitigating ill health too. In this episode Dr Darren Sharpe tells us about the pilot interventions he and his team are evaluating in London. The interventions aim to reduce strain on GP practice services and better support patients, particularly those with multiple medical or non-medical needs and problems which may impact on each other, aka ‘complex needs’. Listen in to learn more about the pilot’s integration of ‘Social Prescribing’, and to hear of administrative innovations, such as the ‘digital front doors’, being put in place to save time and money for the NHS, whilst also keeping patient needs at the forefront of service.
