The way primary care services are delivered is changing, with different specialists on hand via GP practices and with a growing number of diagnostic tests, screening and treatments available in community pharmacies. We explore what’s in store for primary care in Cheshire and Merseyside after the launch of a new strategic framework which offers a timeline of actions at both local and system level. Dr Jonathan Griffiths, Associate Medical Director for Primary Care at NHS Cheshire and Merseyside; and Adam Irvine, Community Pharmacy Lead at NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, are in conversation with Dr Phil Jennings, Chief Executive of Health Innovation North West Coast. Greg Stringer introduces the conversation.
