10 High Impact Actions to release time for care
Take every opportunity to support people to play a greater role in their own health and care. This begins before the consultation, with methods of
signposting patients to sources of information, advice and support in the community. Common examples include patient information websites,
community pharmacies and patient support groups. For people with longterm conditions, this involves working in partnership to understand
patients' mental and social needs as well as physical. Many patients will benefit from training in managing their condition, as well as connections
to care and support services in the community.
Prevention
Some practices are fostering links with their local community and launching new programmes to improve population health and prevent disease.
This spans a range of activities, including health education, promoting healthy eating and physical activity, and influencing other aspects of public
health. A common feature is a focus on communities helping themselves, with statutory services providing support.
Patient online
Technology changes are enabling patients to access their personal record online, through web portals and a growing number of health apps for
mobile phones. This makes common transactions such as ordering a repeat prescription quicker for the patient and for practice staff. It also
allows patients to become better informed about their health and care, and to play a more active role. With explanation and support, patients and
their carers are able to check test results, the progress of investigations and referrals, read and share their care plan, and enter details of home
monitoring, such as blood pressure, weight, and sugar tests. As well as being popular with patients, GP practices are reporting a reduction in
workload as a result of patients using these online services.
Acute episodes
Practices are increasingly involved in supporting patients with minor ailments to care for themselves. This often includes providing advice and
signposting to services provided by community pharmacy. Education also plays a part, with growing numbers of practies contributing to efforts to
teach people about the best ways to seek help when ill. This often begins with engagement in local primary schools.
Longterm conditions
For people with longterm conditions, a more proactive approach to care is being adopted, alongside a focused effort to help people play a more
active role in monitoring and managing their condition. Initiatives include supporting people to access their full medical record online, the use of
health coaching in clinical consultations and the provision of training and support in the community, aiming to build the knowledge, skills and
confidence for patients and carers to manage their condition. This builds patients’ own assets and quality of life, as well as reducing their
dependence on services such as the general practice.

10 QI expertise
The idea
• Identify common tasks / processes and
measure them to find priorities for
improvement.
• Use tools and techniques from Improvement
science to design and implement
improvements (eg 5S, Lean).
Implementation tips
• Don't overlook the impact that relatively small improvements to frequent tasks can make.
• Use team techniques that examine everyday processes from a different perspective - you'll often find
completely new improvements you could make.
Impact
• A Cheshire practice recently spent a couple of
half days with a Productive General Practice
facilitator, focusing on the repeat prescribing
process. They freed an estimated 556 hours
per year.
• A Yorkshire practice reduced time spent
hunting for prescriptions by 82%, saving 12.5
hour per week.
•Efficient processes

  • 8. #GPforwardview Innovations from practices throughout around England that release time and improve care. bit.ly/gpcapacityforum 10 High Impact Actions to release time for care Take every opportunity to support people to play a greater role in their own health and care. This begins before the consultation, with methods of signposting patients to sources of information, advice and support in the community. Common examples include patient information websites, community pharmacies and patient support groups. For people with longterm conditions, this involves working in partnership to understand patients' mental and social needs as well as physical. Many patients will benefit from training in managing their condition, as well as connections to care and support services in the community. Prevention Some practices are fostering links with their local community and launching new programmes to improve population health and prevent disease. This spans a range of activities, including health education, promoting healthy eating and physical activity, and influencing other aspects of public health. A common feature is a focus on communities helping themselves, with statutory services providing support. Patient online Technology changes are enabling patients to access their personal record online, through web portals and a growing number of health apps for mobile phones. This makes common transactions such as ordering a repeat prescription quicker for the patient and for practice staff. It also allows patients to become better informed about their health and care, and to play a more active role. With explanation and support, patients and their carers are able to check test results, the progress of investigations and referrals, read and share their care plan, and enter details of home monitoring, such as blood pressure, weight, and sugar tests. As well as being popular with patients, GP practices are reporting a reduction in workload as a result of patients using these online services. Acute episodes Practices are increasingly involved in supporting patients with minor ailments to care for themselves. This often includes providing advice and signposting to services provided by community pharmacy. Education also plays a part, with growing numbers of practies contributing to efforts to teach people about the best ways to seek help when ill. This often begins with engagement in local primary schools. Longterm conditions For people with longterm conditions, a more proactive approach to care is being adopted, alongside a focused effort to help people play a more active role in monitoring and managing their condition. Initiatives include supporting people to access their full medical record online, the use of health coaching in clinical consultations and the provision of training and support in the community, aiming to build the knowledge, skills and confidence for patients and carers to manage their condition. This builds patients’ own assets and quality of life, as well as reducing their dependence on services such as the general practice.

  • 10. #GPforwardview 10 QI expertise The idea • Identify common tasks / processes and measure them to find priorities for improvement. • Use tools and techniques from Improvement science to design and implement improvements (eg 5S, Lean). Implementation tips • Don't overlook the impact that relatively small improvements to frequent tasks can make. • Use team techniques that examine everyday processes from a different perspective - you'll often find completely new improvements you could make. Impact • A Cheshire practice recently spent a couple of half days with a Productive General Practice facilitator, focusing on the repeat prescribing process. They freed an estimated 556 hours per year. • A Yorkshire practice reduced time spent hunting for prescriptions by 82%, saving 12.5 hour per week. •Efficient processes bit.ly/GPcapacitynet5
