Bury GP practices rated a good New research suggests Bury patients rate their GP practices as ‘good’. This are the results of the latest National GP Patient Survey of nearly 10,000 Bury patients earlier this year, which saw a third respond. Of these, 85 per cent said their overall experience of their GP practice as ‘fairly good’ or ‘very vood’, which is above the national average of 83 per cent. NHS Bury Clinical Commissioning Group hopes this will be a boost for practice teams after working through challenging times during the pandemic. In eight of the nine Bury areas, practices performed the same or better in comparison with 2020.
Bury’s Let’s Do It (Local Enterprising Together Strengths) Community Strategy was launched during the pandemic and its key principles are reflected through the data response to the pandemic. Covid-19 has accelerated integrated working plans which will remain a legacy for strengthened locality working through the recovery and beyond.
At the start of the pandemic in March 2020 an integrated Covid-19 data project group was mobilised to support the local response, including colleagues from within the council and CCG. In a different approach to previous ways of working an agile methodology was implemented, using daily scrum meetings and small sprints to produce in-depth pieces of analysis. This gave us focus when we needed clear communication and clarity of purpose at a time of unprecedented demand for data and intelligence.
