Who we are
- A representative body for Primary Care Neworks (PCNs) in the Lincolnshire Integrated Care System
- An advocate for Lincolnshire PCN issues
- A non-statutory, informal collective
- Independent, but grant funded by NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
- An alliance in transition
What we do
- Facilitate PCN Clinical Director (CDs) & Business Manager (BMs) joint working and mutual support
- Represent collective PCN interests
- Act as bridge between PCNs and ICB (e.g. LES; CSS)
- Provide role-related support for BMs (e.g. DES; ARRS)
- Promote population health management in Lincolnshire
But we could also...
Deliver services as a PCN collective, allowing us to:
- Run services that we know would make more of a difference if delivered by PCNs
- Give PCNs a greater reach and impact
- Help embed more services in Primary Care
- Allow PCNs to do what we know works
- Help improve local population health
What's next?
- Secure support of PCNs to pursue desired approach
- Translate this into the basis for a formal PCNA company
- Put into action the move from informal alliance to formal business
- Start responding to funding calls as a collective PCN legal entity
