One Care has appointed 15 new general practice Clinical Leads to part time, two-year posts, each focused on a different to health priority and aligned to Place-Based Care (Neighbourhoods), Hospital to Community and Analogue to Digital.

Our Clinical Leadership model provides a framework for general practice clinicians to provide leadership and expertise across BNSSG, championing integration between general practice, community and acute services.

Previous Clinical Leads have ensured general practice has a voice in primary secondary interface decisions, influenced pathway development, championed improvements to patient care and unlocked new funding streams for practices.

The new Clinical Leads and their areas of responsibility are:

In addition to the posts above, Sophie Foot has also been appointed as Clinical Lead for HIV, separately funded for 10 months.

BNSSG’s Primary Secondary Interface Group (PSIG), made up of general practice and Bristol NHS Group clinicians, alongside GP federation One Care, Avon Local Medical Committee and the Integrated Care Board (ICB), have agreed local guidelines for working together to improve care for patients. The guidelines set out principles for joined up working between staff across different care providers and champion collaboration.

The Primary Secondary Care Interface Guidance and Summary Infographic have been developed by local clinicians for clinicians and set out principles to reduce duplication, clarify processes and improve communication between our organisations. PSIG aims to continue to develop the guidelines and expand them to include BNSSG’s community and mental healthcare partners.
