Measures to reduce the workload of Falkirk GPs by bringing other health professionals "who really know their stuff" into surgeries are beginning to pay off - but more work and more cash are still needed, a report has found.
Members of Falkirk's Integrated Joint Board - which oversees health and social care locally - heard last Friday that the Primary Care Improvement Plan has made "excellent progress" over its first four years.
Since 2018, the Primary Care Improvement Plan has been rolled out across 50 practices across Forth Valley, introducing nearly 200 health professionals, including advanced nurse practitioners, physios, pharmacists and mental health nurses.
