Date: 08 February 2020
Location: ICC, Birmingham
Time: 10:00 – 17:00
Over 99% of practices are in a PCN… so what’s next? The BMA’s PCN conference can tell you. You’ll find out what’s next for PCNs, as well as the different and innovative ways PCNs are developing across England.
Hear from:
- national experts that negotiate the PCN DES
- clinical directors and business managers that are implementing it
- LMC offices that are supporting PCNs
- different members of the PCN workforce about their experiences of working within a PCN.
With significant time for networking, you’ll gain insight into what’s happening around the country, share best practice, and build supportive relationships.
The five themes are arranged so you can tailor your programme to suit your needs – whether you want to look at PCN development, the workforce, clinical services, communities or funding, or if you want to mix and match – it’s all possible.
Themes
PCN workforce… what’s next?
Already got a clinical pharmacist and social prescriber… what’s next? You’ll hear about the next phase of workforce plans for PCNs. We have clinical pharmacists and social prescribers, as well as first contact physiotherapists, first responder paramedics and physician associated, to talk you through what they are already doing across the country, and how they can support the PCN to develop.
PCN clinical services… what’s next?
Already delivering the extended hours service… what’s next? Discuss the new service specifications and what they mean for PCNs. Clinical leads will talk about their preparations for the new services, and you’ll have time to share ideas about how you might implement them.
PCN development… what’s next?
Your PCN is all set up… what’s next? Our experts will explore where PCNs are going and how you can help your PCN get there, as well as talks for those who have already made good progress to develop their PCN.
PCN partnership working… what’s next?
Practices already working together as a PCN… what’s next? Delivery of PCN services is not just down to you and your PCN – other community and primary care services will need to be involved too. Hear from community teams and how they are engaging with PCNs to deliver integrated services to patients.
PCN funding… what’s next?
Already on top of funding for this year… what’s next? Hear about upcoming funding and what it’s for. Find out how clinical directors are using the existing funding innovatively to make it go further. Hear from VAT and tax experts (including HMRC) about the implications.
