How this fits in

The number of GP practices in the UK has overall reduced, while individual practice size lists have increased. This systematic review used a framework analysis to synthesise the current literature available around micro-teams as a potential intervention to mitigate compromised care in larger practices. This review highlighted micro-teams as a structure of general practice to promote accessible healthcare delivery and moderate losses to continuity. Further research into whether continuity can be offered by a team instead of an individual is warranted in the implementation of micro-teams.
