Background to the Role

PCNs were formed as part of the NHS long-term plan. PCNs are developing to bring together general practice in geographical networks covering populations of approximately 30-50,000 patients.

Core objectives of each PCN are:

• To help recruit and retain staff, to remove pressure from existing and individual general practice units and to help with practice finances
• To move towards integrating the wider health and social care system
• To secure new ‘additionality roles’ funding from NHSE to recruit clinical pharmacists, social prescribers, physiotherapists and other allied health care professionals
• To focus on service delivery. This to include improving patient access, extending the scope of services available to patients and working with other health and social care providers to ensure best use of available resources
• To deliver a national service specification

PCNs are established by the geographical group of GP Practices signing up to the NHSE Network Contract Direct Enhanced Service. PCNs are however not required to be a formal body/legal entity.

Alexin Healthcare CIC Limited is a large and successful GP Federation covering Southern Derbyshire, East & South East Staffordshire who are dedicated to delivering high quality health services to the community, improved patient experience and keeping Primary Care at the forefront of the NHS reforms.
