What do patients and clinicians think about interventions which prioritise continuity for certain patients in primary care?

Relational continuity of care is associated with improved patient outcomes, yet continuity in UK general practice is declining. This is despite the UK requiring patients to register/enrol with a general practice to access routine healthcare. Several methods to improve continuity within an enrolled population have been suggested and piloted, some of these prioritise continuity for selected patient groups rather than for all patients. However, little is known about how patients and clinicians perceive targeted continuity schemes. This study explored attitudes towards implementing systems that prioritise continuity for specific groups within general practice.
