What are group clinics and why is the NHS supporting their roll out in primary care?
Group consultations are one to one medical consultations with a GP and/or specialist nurse delivered within a supportive group with a facilitator, either virtually or face to face. The NHS is supporting this model as a way for GP practices to bring together individuals for support with long term conditions helping them to better manage their own health and share their experiences and learning. This is a new way for you to join people with similar health issues and consult with your GP, nurse or healthcare team for a longer period of time allowing for more in depth discussion and shared decision making.
The evidence is that following a group consultation approach patients feel more able to cope and keep themselves healthy through improved access and spending longer with their healthcare team.
All group members sign or verbally agree to a confidentiality and group clinic agreement. You can ask for a private discussion with the clinician if needed.
We hope you will join us in this new way of working.
We look forward to working with you!
