Redesigning the Workforce Potential for Reallocation by Role For ANPs, practice managers, practice nurses and GPs, over 50% of tasks could be potentially reassigned to a lower cost resource ANP HCA Practice Manager Practice Nurse Receptionist GP Tasks by Role ANP HCA 30% of GP time spent on acute clinical conditions Practice Nurse GP
EPC and MDT Teams To do this we are: Creating Enhanced Primary Care teams, teams of care professionals who will have the responsibility of 3500-5000 people within a practice register Creating Multidisciplinary Teams whose membership will include, amongst others, GPs, Practice Nurses, District Nurses, Social Worker, Mental Health Professionals who will have the responsibility for caring for people with complex needs and will cover a practice population of 10k-15k Shared Resource Making it easier for people to access an appointment and ensuring that they see the right professional at the right time. 18
