Primary care networks: how NAPC can support you
NAPC offers support to primary care networks at all levels of maturity – whether you are at the start of your journey or developing and looking to achieve step three of NHS England’s maturity matrix. We have already supported the creation of more than 240 primary care home (PCH) sites – advanced primary care networks – as well as ICSs and STPs across England. The model is based on experience and knowledge of 25 years of NHS reform as well as growing PCH faculty of more than 50 people with expertise in delivering primary care at scale.

Primary care home
NAPC are the architects of the primary care home (PCH) model – the original primary care network which was launched in 2015 by NHS England Chief Executive Sir Simon Stevens. The PCH model has informed the development of national PCN policy as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and the five-year framework for GP contract reform.
