  • Analysis of workload patterns before and after intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • Alignment with GP practices led to unpredictable and fluctuating workloads for health visitors.
    • The introduction of a corporate caseload model successfully mitigated workload variability.
    • Health visitors reported improved work-life balance and service consistency.

    Conclusions:

    • Corporate caseload models can effectively manage and balance workloads for health visitors.
    • Systematic approaches are necessary to address workload challenges in primary care settings.
    • Optimizing health visitor workloads is essential for sustained community health services.
