Collaborative Practice - A Different Way Of Working In General Practice

In this Podcast we talk to Alyson McGregor of Altogether Better.

Altogether Better works with people in health and social care across the UK and beyond to develop Collaborative Practice, a new way of organising that makes life better for everybody.

Altogether Better is an NHS national network organisation, supporting health and care services across the UK to introduce their model of Collaborative Practice. Their network approach is used in over 130 GP practices and has also been tested in other health and care settings, including acute hospital trusts, mental health, young people’s services and care homes.

Collaborative Practice invites local people to gift their time to a local GP practice or health service, working alongside people who deliver health services in a new, collaborative relationship. As a result, the practice and how it works changes.
