Imagine if all ICS & Trusts switched their financial models towards prevention & community investment. Acute hospitals overwhelmed by “demand” is a sign of our systemic failure to do this at scale & pace. Instead of pulling people out of the river let’s try to prevent falling in.

Once again the benefit of GPs- properly trained - providing continuity of care

Primary healthcare is where most people turn to first when struggling with addiction. I did, and I was very fortunate to have an understanding and patient GP. It’s logical to invest more in these practices, add in some lived experience support. #RecoveryHelp

Thank you The Herald for highlighting this work and the difference person centered care can make UofG GPPC
