Summary

GP practices in Shetland introduced a Community Treatment and Care (CTAC) model to make routine tasks more consistent and predictable. With a fixed timetable, a central booking system, and set CTAC days, staff could plan more easily and patients had better continuity.

Impact:

  • CTAC staff benefitted from working in familiar places and built stronger relationships.
  • Patients received more consistent care.
  • General practice nurses had more time for complex care.
