*Adam Thompson’s Insights on Primary Care and Infrastructure Challenges*
In our latest video, Adam Thompson, Director at Primary Care Surveyors, shares his expert insights into the challenges facing primary care and the essential infrastructure needed for its future growth. With the government’s focus on moving healthcare services into the community, Adam outlines the obstacles in transitioning from secondary care to primary care settings.
*The Disconnect Between Costs and Rent in Primary Care*
One key issue is the disconnect between rising construction costs, increasing interest rates, and the low rents in primary care facilities. This financial imbalance prevents the construction of new medical centres, creating a major hurdle to achieving the government’s healthcare goals. As primary care surveyors, we work closely with GPs and witness firsthand how these financial challenges impact the viability of primary care developments across the UK.
*The Need for Innovative Solutions*
To address this, Adam predicts that the NHS and the government must focus on innovative funding solutions. Restructuring the rent system for primary care facilities is essential to make development financially feasible. Adam believes a seismic shift in how primary care infrastructure is funded and managed is necessary to meet the growing demand for community-based healthcare services.
*Improving Infrastructure to Relieve NHS Pressure*
In the video, Adam discusses how improving primary care infrastructure can reduce the burden on secondary care and enhance patient care overall. With targeted government investment, we can transform primary care facilities into high-quality, accessible centres that better serve patients. This would also relieve pressure on the NHS, making the healthcare system more efficient and sustainable.
