We are shaping up for the new world of integrated care systems (ICSs) and as part of this, the Fuller national stocktake is a live initiative which has been commissioned to appraise how well existing systems work with primary care (and others) to improve integration of patient care. As a senior GP who is leading on the data, population health management, risk stratification and health inequalities workstream, Dr Neil Modha talks to Ben about the scope of the review, how it is being conducted in practice, the influence of the review outcomes on general practice’s place in the new world, and how others can also get involved.
