چکیده
Current initiatives in the UK are placing a greater emphasis on collaboration between primary care and other organisations such as social services, as well as on community participation. This paper reviews the development of primary care groups, examines their organisation and explores their potential to deliver improved collaboration and participation. Drawing on recent research evidence the paper questions whether these new primary care organisations do provide a basis for increased opportunities. The discussion is set within a broader policy context to provide an analysis of how far current government goals in relation to primary care are being met.
