</p><p>As part of this package NHS England is investing £500 million in a national
sustainability and transformation package to support GP practices, which includes
plans to reduce workload. The plan was developed with the Royal College of General
Practitioners and Health Education England.</p><p> </p><p>In early 2016, NHS England
launched the 10 high impact actions to release time for care including: active signposting
for patients to the most appropriate help; new consultation types; reducing the number
of Do Not Attends appointment slots; developing the team; introducing new ways of
working which enable staff to work smarter; supporting staff to develop; partnership
working; social prescribing such as referring and signposting to non-medical services
that support wellbeing; supporting self-care for patients, and developing Quality
Improvement expertise. The Time for Care programme provides support for groups of
practices to implement these actions.</p>
