Cluster Work Summary

Welsh Government encourage GP practices, Optometrist, Pharmacists, Dentists to work more closely as a cluster to provide you with your primary care in your community.  We work together with the voluntary sector and social care, to ensure patients have access to the right services and support.

There are many areas in which the Primary Care clusters work together, including, but not limited to:
  • Reviewing innovative practice both locally and nationally.
  • Employment of pharmacists, mental health practitioners, physiotherapists to work within practices to ensure that the right specialist advice and support is available to you.

We work together to review good practice to:
  • improve cancer diagnoses
  • support patients with their care plans and help to manage their conditions
  • support end of life care
  • reduce risks of polypharmacy (when patients take multiple medications)
  • improve access to specialists closer to home

In 2018 we trained all our frontline reception staff in the GP practices in Care Navigation – this allows them additional skills to signpost and help patients see the right person at the right time.

Investment in equipment and resources to hopefully further improve access, for example aids for patients who are hard of hearing, portable examination equipment for Optometrists.

We will continue to developing other projects and work together to address our population health needs and will keep our patient population up to date on this website and our facebook and twitter pages over the coming months and years.
