Integrated Family Health Centres: Putting the patient at the centre of primary care

Midlands Health Network is trialling the model of care at three NorthCare practices to improve patients’ engagement in their health care, provide better access to the general practice team and more efficiently and effectively utilise primary care resources.

They have created a document that describes their approach of putting the patient at the centre, and caring for the patient and their family while also ensuring a sustainable provision of care.
