Information for GPs
Evidence shows that since the programme’s inception in 2006, Birmingham OwnHealth has shown significant improvements in individuals’ attitudes towards their own health behaviours and actions in making positive lifestyle and health behaviour changes. This in turn has had a positive impact on their clinical measures and on their use of and the demand for other healthcare services and resources, and as a consequence, Quality and Outcomes Framework targets improve.
Under Birmingham OwnHealth, the relationship between the member and their GP and/or other healthcare professionals continues to have priority in identifying and agreeing the treatment each member needs.
The care managers support and build on the professional care already provided, enhancing the relationships and improving the contact with their GP and/or other healthcare professionals.
