Remote working toolkit for general practices and primary care networks

Building 2 External 0 0 0 effective teams in general practice How to build effective teams in general practice false https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/effective-teams-general-practice true false%> is difficult. But building effective teams when members of the team are not working in the same location can be even more challenging. Remote working is on the increase – not least because the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that over the past year many general practice staff have found themselves working at home, or in a practice but needing to work at a distance from other members of the team. And the introduction of primary care network (PCN) roles that cover mult iple practices means teams are not always physically located together. The rapid implementation of remote consulting tools provides the ability to work more flexibly and from different locations, but primary care leaders need to learn how to build effective teams in a different way. In the summer of 2020, The King ' s Fund was commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to look into staff experiences of remote working in general practice. Using this work, and our previous research into effective teams, we ' ve developed this short digital guide for practice and PCN leaders to help them adopt practices and techniques to ensure that their teams work as well as possible, even if all the members of the team can ' t be physically together in one place.
