Primary care, like all healthcare, is increasingly shifting to team-based care with nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physicians, pharmacists, and other providers all collaborating to provide care to patients. This study looks at variation between general practitioner-only (GP) and multi-professional practices regarding quality and safety changes during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Multi-professional practices were more likely to have made structural changes than GP-only, which the authors suggest may be due, in part, to larger multi-professional practices having more resources available than GP-only, which tend to be smaller.
