Innovating to find the right way to left shift
Abstract
Innovating to find the right way to left shiftThe NHS 10-Year Plan to move healthcare from hospitals to communities -a left shift -is not new, but lasting change will not be easy to achieve.Hospitals are gravity wells that are irresistible, dragging in attention and resources.Addressing certain factors are essential to facilitate a left shift and research in the BJGP will continue to cover these: workforce and funding spring to mind as the blindingly obvious.Research can illuminate the hidden work of general practice and offer guidance for models of care.At the time of writing, much remains open to discussion, as the UK Government has provided little tangible detail on neighbourhood healthcare.
