Higher GP continuity is associated with lower mortality, but changing regular GP doesn't significantly affect mortality.
High informational & management continuity provided by a GP personal list may compensate for adverse effects when changing GP https://t.co/ETtsbm77jX @saharpy
Higher #GeneralPractice funding, more fully qualified GPs per 1000 patients, improved continuity, and some measures of clinical care were associated with higher patient life expectancy https://t.co/kpBW2QIhkh @Richard41698459 @uniofleicester@UoLPressOffice#PrimaryCare
“Offer further appointments to patients who miss appointments rather than asking their practice to re-refer. Ask patients what would support them to attend in future”
Interesting read for GP & secondary care colleagues
“Evaluate missed appointments from a health inequalities perspective and develop with targeted support for patients where there are greatest barriers to attendance”

“Where possible, health systems should co-locate services and diagnostics with better integration of care prioritised to areas of high socioeconomic deprivation”
Six points at which inequalities can arise are
1. Referrals from primary care
2. Navigating the system
3. Secondary care appointment
4. Specialist follow-up
5. Patients who do not attend
6. Self referral
