GPs have commended how WiseGP principles such as knowledge work (complex problem-solving) skills, have helped to capture the complexity of their everyday work as expert generalists.
WiseGP website resources are being regularly accessed by people from around the globe, while subscribers to the monthly newsletter have continued to grow, suggesting content is of interest and value to GPs.
Participants in the WISDOM course found shared learning through an online community particularly helpful. They described how the course enabling them to overcome barriers to the delivery of tailored whole-person centred care.
GPs who participated in Lazarus workshops were enthusiastic about potential opportunities to be involved in shaping the service they delivered and felt that workshops would provide a key space to develop a community of practice. Participants felt future involvement in Lazarus-style workshops would help to re-energise and retain GPs in practice.
Following a session at the RCGP conference, GPs have expressed interest in working with us through future workshops.
Having established that our new ways of working have the potential to motivate and retain GPs and that GPs are enthusiastic about working with us, we now need to scale and sustain the work of WiseGP.
