A practice community is an organised collaboration of general practitioner practices that enables broader, coordinated primary care for patients, with shared professional and management support.
Why it is useful
A practice community enables the provision of additional services, strengthens prevention and uses resources more efficiently, while reducing the burden on specialist care.
What documents are needed?
Operation typically requires a Care Plan, Additional Services Regulations, Integrated Procedures for Specialised Care and a Development Plan, complemented by business planning and project management.
Frequently asked questions
Is a grant required?
Practice community developments are often financed from EU grants, whose preparation and management we support.
