Public involvement in primary care: Implications for primary care groups

Health Services Management Centre, university of Birmingham

The focus of healthcare is changing to primary care in many countries, including the UK. One aspect of this development is a community orientation, which can be defined in a number of different ways. This paper examines community involvement in the UK, and reports some of the findings of a survey of public participation in primary care, discussing the implications for primary care groups. The survey findings and discussion concentrate on three main issues: methods and approaches to public participation; difficulties identified and ways of addressing them; achievements and outcomes of public participation.

Key Words: Public participation • Community development • User views • Primary care
