‘Access to Primary Care’ World Café Conversation event report
As part of the work being undertaken by the Access sub-group of the Salford Provider Collaborative Board, co-chaired by Dr Vannamalar Selvaraasan and Alison Page, Salford CVS hosted an ‘Access to Primary Care’ World Café Conversation event on Thursday 13th July, at Buile Hill Park Hall. This event was, in part, a recognition of the pressures on Primary Care staff and the frustrations felt by patients at present. This is due to a combination of factors, including the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis.
