Aspirations for the MPSU
“The developments of PCNs have brought a new dimension to an already complex setting. I hope the MPSU is able to support individuals to orientate themselves within this landscape. My aspirations for the MPSU are to provide a multidisciplinary platform to provide help, guidance and peer support to the new and existing primary care workforce.”
