Polly Duncan on stage, presenting at SAPC

Final slide from Polly’s presentation, showing Alice, a housebound patient, and ways in which her care could have been better - better continuity, more time, MDT, training, patient-centred

Great presentation by Polly Duncan on primary care for housebound patients. What factors are associated with being housebound / who is most likely to be housebound? How can health care services better support their patients who are housebound? #sapc2025 @capcbristol.bsky.social @sapc.ac.uk

Patrick Burch presenting one of his opening slides - relational continuity is a cornerstone of general practice but has declined in the UK

Interesting start to the parallel session on continuity. @patrickburch.bsky.social discussing his qualitative research. Patients who have experienced continuity know the value of it, those who haven’t haven’t necessarily considered it. #sapc2025 @sapc.ac.uk
