Neil Modha, Peterborough GP, joins us again this week to talk about his experience in whole system working. In the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area all the local providers have come together in Provider Alliances, funded by pooled resources. In this podcast Neil explains how this works, how primary care is engaged and describes two practical examples. He also offers useful advice to new Clinical Leaders who are starting out on this journey.
