Abstract

A priority for the NHS Long Term Plan (NHS 2019) includes improved service for care homes which will lower the volume of unnecessary hospital admissions, enhance residents’ care and encourage inter-professional working. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the enhanced service was introduced earlier than planned. This project reflects on and discusses one nurse’s experience of setting up the service to be provided by a general practice to care homes and the challenges which were overcome, and suggests some improvements, along with areas of expansion.
