James Morrow is the Chief Exec and Managing Partner of Granta Medical Practices in Sawston, Cambridge. In this episode James tells Ben how the benefits of increased scale have led to a new model for delivering core general practice which has improved access, eased recruitment and developed new and constructive dialogues with secondary care. He touches on the way the practices are involving staff in innovation and working with the local community. Looking to the future he describes a vision where the staff will share ownership of the practice through a Board of Trustees whilst also maintaining the independence of general practice.
