BMA
- The lowdown on PCNs from the BMA, including their PCN Handbook.
- PCNs are central to the provision of integrated, at-scale primary care, encompassing services beyond core general practice and working closely with acute, community and mental health trusts, as well as pharmacy, voluntary and local authority services.
- PCNs are groups of general practices working closely together, with other primary and community care staff and health and care organisations, providing integrated services to their local populations.
- From April 2019, the BMA’s GP committee and NHS England have agreed a DES (Directed Enhanced Service) to fund and support, individual GP practices to establish/ join PCNs covering populations of between 30,000 to 50,000 in England.
