Working in Partnership Programme

Working in Partnership Programme (WiPP)[1] was launched in England in 2004 under the new general medical services (nGMS) contract to support doctors in general practice by providing them with innovative ideas on how to improve services for the public.

Initiatives

The GMS contract provided the funds, while the initiatives are being implemented by a number of different agencies including primary care trusts as well as non-government organisations in England. The WiPP website provides several resources for this program.[2] The programme has several initiatives.
