The aim of this project is to connect and educate patients to enable them to support themselves and each other at the same time as having longer with the GP or specialist nurse.
The project involves seeing patients in group settings, and encouraging them to communicate and learn with one another, to think of how to achieve their goals. They will spend time being supported in this both by a group facilitator and a doctor, nurse or other professional. These will initially be done remotely using the internet and are very new to the practices but have been widely studied and used around the world for years.
We have offered Group Consultations in Diabetes and Menopause care.
