Group Clinic Programme

The West Yorkshire Primary Care Workforce & Training Hub are supporting the spread and adoption of Group Clinics across Primary Care in West Yorkshire. Group Clinics are an evidence-based way of delivering access and recovery, creating capacity, reducing waiting lists and releasing one to one appointments. Group Clinics can be delivered as either face to face and/or virtual (video group clinics [VGCs]). They bring a group of patients together with clinicians in a supportive clinic, improving quality and experience of care for patients and primary care teams alike.

Benefits of Group Clinics
Group Clinics can help your Practice/PCN with the following benefits:

  • Clinician time savings
  • Improved QOF achievement
  • Improved access
  • More options to overcome estate limitations using video group clinics (VGCs)
  • Improved job satisfaction, flexible working through VGCs and restoration of autonomy and joy in clinical practice
