NHS reforms have created pressures, challenges and opportunities for general practice. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the General Practitioners Committee (GCP) of the British Medical Association (BMA) believe that the profession must put forward its own ideas for the development of general practice and patient care. Our vision is for a stronger and more vibrant general practice-based primary healthcare system that is patient centred, which provides consistently high-quality, safe, needs-based care. This can be achieved by expanded - but integrated - primary health teams offering a wider range of services in the community with expanded access to diagnostics. We suggest that virtually all health problems in the population - including mental health - could be dealt with in primary care with short-term referral as needed, to maintain comprehensiveness. Our model is based on good clinical generalists working in the community.
