Barbara Starfield Lecture, Professor Jeannie Haggerty

"Continuity of care and the new normal of multimorbidity in primary care: appreciating and extending Barbara Starfield’s notion of longitudinal person-focused care" 

Watch the video.

Professor Haggerty’s domain of research is the measure of patient experience of patient-centred healthcare and measurement of access and continuity, and how these measures relate to changes in organisational and professional practices.

Professor Haggerty recalls that Barbara Starfield proposed that while continuity of care is an attribute of good healthcare, it is uniquely expressed and valued in primary care as person-focused care over time, or longitudinality. So continuity in primary care has become virtually synonymous with establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patient and is often indicated by the extent to which a patient concentrates care in their GP. However, as it has become the norm for older adults to have two or more chronic conditions, so being seen by multiple clinicians and having multiple treatment plans has also become the norm. Her talk will summarise research on what patients say about the challenge of managing multiple conditions and seeing multiple providers and present why and how we need to expand the notion of continuity of care to include other clinicians, while underlying the value of person-focused care over time.

Professor Amanda Howe OBE

"Evidence, advocacy and resourcing – can global general practice meet the challenge of universal health coverage?" 

Professor Amanda Howe delivered her Starfield Lecture on . She used her global experience as President of WONCA to reflect on the need both for updated evidence on the impacts of investment in primary care,  and the need to use smart arguments to persuade governments to invest in the modern medical workforce for effective health care. The lecture was video recordedFlyer

Professor Howe trained in Cambridge, London and then Sheffield (1973-1980). Following vocational training, she developed both her GP and academic careers in Sheffield before moving to become the inaugural Chair in Primary Care in the foundation team for the new Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia in 2001. She was Course Director during the GMC accreditation process for the new course from 2004-2008, then was also an RCGP Officer 2009-2015. In 2013 she was elected to the Executive of the World Organization of Family Doctors , where she is now President (2016-2018, see www.globalfamilydoctor.com ), while retaining academic and clinical general practice. The last role has brought her into strategic involvement with many major policy units worldwide, including the Robert Graham Center where she has been a keynote speaker for two ‘Starfield Summits’. In April 2018 she was apointed Chair of the International Advisory Group on Primary Health Care for Universal Health Coverage.

Starfield Lecture, Professor Martin Roland CBE

"The Future of Primary Care"

He moved to the inaugural Chair of Health Services Research in the University of Cambridge in 2009. Professor Roland was a practising GP from 1979 to 2014. 

In 2015, Professor Martin Roland chaired a government commission to identify models of primary care that would meet the future needs of the NHS. In this lecture he described how British general practice could once again become the envy of the world.
