Abstract

Jhon Spooner

In the continuously evolving field of healthcare, the pursuit of enhancing outcomes in primary care remains an ongoing mission. In this context, an exhaustive study delves into the intricate domain of skill-mix changes and their extensive implications within England's primary care system. The research shines a light on a multi-dimensional phenomenon: the integration of new professionals into the healthcare workforce. While these changes enhance capacity, they give rise to a complex scenario where the interaction of effects on patient satisfaction, healthcare expenses and overall quality presents a subtle and intricate portrayal. In the dynamic realm of healthcare provision, the composition of the primary care workforce assumes a pivotal role. The study's emphasis on skill-mix changes - modifications in the combination of healthcare professionals - brings to light a captivating journey of exploration.
