Overview

By working at scale, Primary Care Networks can deliver new models of care fit for the local population, develop the workforce and release capacity and by working together provide excellent care for patients and staff.

This is a great opportunity for practices to meet the Medical Director of Primary Care for NHE England & Improvement, to learn how PCNs are progressing, and hear how other PCNs across the country are developing new models of care.

Dr Abby Richardson, the CCG Clinical Lead for Primary Care, will be leading the event.
