GP partnership review: final report and business model case studies
DHSC 15 January 2019
  • The review outlines the challenges and benefits of working in general practice and of the Partnership Model. These include workforce issues of recruitment, retention and education and training; workload, status and role of partnerships and primary care networks; and the emerging opportunities for primary care in terms of digital and technology.
  • The review concludes that "the current model of care in the NHS is too dependent on hospital-based care. This model is not sustainable, and we cannot move forward without change that includes general practice and partnerships at its heart."
  • A separate report presents case studies of different business models in general practice.
