Primary care leaders agree that the new model for management of long-term conditions should include group clinics (shared medical appointments). This way of delivering care has been growing in popularity since 2017. Offering both efficiency and quality gains for primary care and patients, group clinics are potentially a powerful tool to support recovery, improve access and outcomes. This panel discussion explores the evidence and shares how ICBs, PCNs and practices are using group clinics to increase access, reduce waiting times, integrate care and improve quality. Highly interactive, you will leave this session buzzing with ideas and wanting to embed group clinics!

Teen Clinic Daventry grew from a public health project targeting children and young people in the Daventry area. Young people have been central to the clinic's development. This exciting project brings together an integrated team with the common goal of a one stop drop in health service for young people aged 11-18. Key supporters are the Primary Care Network, Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, local secondary E-Act academies, Northamptonshire Children's Trust, voluntary sector and local council. Young people explore physical, mental and sexual health concerns with a team of professionals. Our youth forum discusses health issues, clinic progress and website development.  We invite outside agencies to attend and to date the clinic has welcomed about 200 young people. We aim to improve health literacy in young people, to empower them with positive health choices. We strive to respond to feedback, to secure funding, to increase the uptake and raise the clinic profile.
