GP commissioning tsar warns of need to add value and calls for input

摘要

GP commissioning is not about recreating primary care trusts by a different name, GP commissioning tsar James Kingsland told participants at the Numark conference in Delhi this week: He explained that the programme is one of behavioural and cultural change and of major restructuring of care pathways. It is also about new ways of integrating care and giving patients a voice. Although there is no threat to pharmacy in the legislation, for those pharmacies not showing value it could be "a career breaker", he warned.
