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.

‘The reason that the #primarycarehome model was so successful was because we encouraged people to innovate and design’ @DrNavChana tells @GPonlinenews draft DES too prescriptive and risks undermining work already carried out by PCHs and PCNs. https://bit.ly/30NayYd
