What is a Primary Care Network?
Current national guidance issued by NHS England (Five Year Forward View) and subsequently the GP Forward View, urges GP Practices to work collaboratively within geographical Locality Care Hubs defined by their natural communities, and use existing working relationships to integrate with Health & Social Care partners locally to improve health outcomes for our patients, drawing from strong clinical leadership.
This MOU therefore asks all participating Practices and their representatives to agree a set of principles founded on collaboration, co-operation, openness, trust, good communication, focus on results and improving health outcomes for our patients.
Aims
- Establish an agreement regarding locality boundaries, (in this case, Practices with a combined population of 61041) and the membership of the Primary Care Network (PCN) within that population and boundaries.
- Agree priorities for local health need improvements in order to focus the work of the PCN.
- A willingness to adapt and adopt to change and explore areas for partnership-working.
- Alignment of the work of the PCN to the emerging Primary Care Strategy locally and nationally.
- A forum for regular discussions and communication with wider stakeholders.
- A PCN Board alongside named Practice GP representatives.
- A collective commitment to contribute to PCN projects and attend relevant meetings, as and when agreed.
GP Practices provide an extensive range of health and social care services. Through the MOU, you agree in principle to explore ways in which collaboration can improve not only patient facing services but also for example, back office functions with the intention that the PCN may be successful in realising the following aims:
- achieving service sustainability for patients;
- improving productivity in clinical support services;
- improving clinical outcomes and patient experience;
- jointly exploring opportunities for competing for commissioned contracts, and
- improving productivity in back office services;
