An example of this in practice at the
moment is the Prime Ministerās GP Access
Fund. Now covering a significant
proportion of the country, practices in this
are implementing quite wide-ranging
redesign of their services, acknowledging
that extended hours are only one part of
good access. The practices participating in
this programme are already beginning to
implement many of the transformational
changes envisaged by the Five Year
Forward View. This is generating valuable
learning about the specific changes
required, including the ways in which the
system can make progress easier and
more sustainable.

Editor's Notes
PC at the heart ā access will need to improve
General practice is brilliant
Rightly admired
High quality
Most appropriate for most people
In growing demand
But struggling - and too hard to access. 12% of patients experience difficulty.Ā
Chief thing staff worry / stress about, too
In every scheme, data will be gathered about changes in general practice appointments, and the impact of these on outcomes at the level of the patient, the wider system and staff. This will allow calculations of the efficacy with which schemes use the funding to implement service innovations, the efficacy of those innovations in changing outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness of each scheme and the programme overall. Lessons will be drawn about successful innovations and the conditions for successful deployment of them, and these will be disseminated as actionable learning for commissioners and providers. This is Workstream A.

Experience of federations give a single contract to achieve a real thing
One of the tasks of the Call to Action was to identify the actions necessary to promote, support and sustain the adoption of the kind of innovation and improvements we seek. We consulted with practice managers, clinicians, commissioners, policy makers and improvement experts, as well as drawing on the experience of building primary care improvement capability in the UK and internationally. A comprehensive list of areas emerged from this process. This has been tested and refined through ongoing consultation with innovators and professional leaders.
The framework describes a set of intrinsic capabilities required by practices to lead service change rapidly, safely and sustainably, and a set of enablers which can be used by policymakers and commissioners to make change easier and more sustainable.
Since April 2014, we have had the opportunity to use this framework in support of 1100 GP practices across England in the Prime Ministerās Challenge Fund. As these 20 groups of practices have introduced a range of service innovations, they have received a bespoke programme of capability-building and direct access to national support for key enablers. Feedback from practices and leaders has been very positive, with many examples of faster and better progress being made as a result of it.
NHS England are now considering ways in which this framework can be used to secure support for other national initiatives, for example further extension of access improvements, support to workforce innovators and a programme to release capacity through reducing workload and working differently.
