Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity.

The practice had introduced long term health condition clinics which involved an initial appointment with a health care assistant followed by a consultation with a clinician. The more structured approach had led to an increase in weight loss referrals.
