GP services for Islington residents in residential care

Report - 4 April 2016

We spoke to care home residents, next of kin, and staff about their experiences of GP services that are delivered in the care home setting.

Summary

We gathered views on GP services that are delivered in care homes.

  • Generally respondents felt that the service was good.
  • The main issues related to communication between the home and the practice, and linking with other services, such as Out of Hours care and 111 (which some staff suggested were not as responsive).
