New care models point to a better future for patients and staff.

This blog piece from Chris Ham, Chief Executive of the King's Fund, celebrates the third anniversary of new care models with a visit to those in counties in Southern England.

His first-hand view of clinical and managerial leaders working in new care models where patient care has improved through measures such as same-day access to GP appointments and integrating community services in localities, shows the efficiency of the models and that their work will be continued and extended.
