“…These findings echo those of other exchange schemes for established clinicians whether national or international. Such time is valuable; it can develop clinical practice ( Axon, 1998 ) and enhance appreciation of care and clinical practice in different contexts ( Bridgwood et al , 2017 ; Bridgwood et al , 2018 ; Jelley, 2002 ; Van Dormael et al , 2007 ; Van den Heuvel & Hood (2010) ; Zwart et al, 2013 ).…”

Jelley (2002) looked back at ten years of running an exchange for GPs in the UK and Portugal and gathered feedback using interviews. The findings indicated that participants from both contexts valued the opportunity for the insights gained in relation to service provision, teamwork and links.…”

Collaborative working across primary and secondary care is crucial to providing high quality patient care. There is still a lack of communication and understanding between primary and secondary care, which can impede collaborative working. The experience of observing colleagues in a different speciality can prompt insight, improve morale and promote collaborative working. The GP-Consultant Exchange Scheme aimed to improve professional understanding, foster deeper partnerships, and ignite opportunities for innovation and/or quality improvement (QI) with co-owned local solutions. This paper gives an overview of how the scheme works and sets out some of the outcomes reported by some 200 Consultants and GPs participants to date. Overall, the participants found the scheme an enjoyable way to reconnect clinicians and allowed them to learn about the challenges faced in different areas within the NHS. This low-cost intervention needs motivated individuals to drive the project forward and make it sustainable, but it can be replicated within any organisation or profession in the NHS.
