9.50 – 10.40: Leadership for transformation
This session will explore the importance of effective leadership in the transformation of primary care, particularly primary care networks and the integration of services. The session will examine the findings of an independent report by The King’s Fund, Insights from the spread of primary care home, which looked at the spread of the primary care home model – an established primary care network that has informed national PCN policy. According to the report, primary care homes brought an enabling form of leadership – one that is organic, locally-led, practical, not top down that empowered colleagues and created a culture of compassion and valuing staff. The session will discuss the merits of this form of leadership and how the approach can be applied across primary care. The session will include insights from PCHs that were interviewed in the report.
Panel:
- Dr Nav Chana MBE, National PCH Clinical Director, NAPC
- Dr Ned Naylor, Director of Primary Care Provider Transformation, NHS England and NHS Improvement
- Dr Stewart Smith, GP and Lead, St Austell Healthcare Primary Care Home
- Caroline Rollings, NAPC PCH Faculty Member and former Managing Partner, Newport Pagnell Primary Care Home

1120 – 1150: In conversation with Dr Ned Naylor, Director of Primary Care Provider Transformation, NHS England and NHS Improvement
This year has seen one of the most significant step changes in the history of primary care. Almost all parts of the country are now in a primary care network, all of which are expected to develop new roles, integrated services and a population health approach to the health and care of their communities. Join this session for an in-depth interview with the Director of Primary Care Provider Transformation at NHS England and NHS Improvement who has been key to the development of these plans. The session will give an update on progress made so far, key challenges across the country and how these are being tackled, examples of where PCN development is working well and why, and the milestones coming up. There will also be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions and share their experiences.

13.10 – 14.00: Integrated approaches to mental health and recreation of mental health teams around PCNs
The NHS Long Term Plan made provision for mental health services to be more fully integrated across primary care through primary care networks. This shift towards more integrated, population-level health systems is designed to enhance prevention and treatment services at a local level. This session will explore how different parts of the system are managing closer working including looking at how mental health teams are being recreated around primary care networks. The panel will also explore the benefits patients are starting to see where integration is working well. The session will hear the difference Healthier Fleetwood is making to people’s lives and learn about the mental health pilots across Surrey Heartlands.

14.10 – 15.00: Unravelling social prescribing
This session will explore the concept of social prescribing which enables GPs and other health professionals to refer people to non-clinical services available locally, recognising that their health is impacted by a range of social, economic and environmental factors. But there are many different terms used – including link workers, care navigators and health connectors – and social prescribing is just one element of personalised care. The session is an opportunity for experts in the field to provide clarity on how social prescribing can be successfully implemented and the benefits and evidence on improving health and wellbeing outcomes.
Panel:
- Christiana Melam, Chief Executive, National Association of Link Workers
- Simon Chapman, Deputy Director, Personalised Care Group, NHS England

15.10 – 15.40: Next generation – what does the future hold?
The transformational change taking place in primary care is leading to a very different environment for the next generation of people entering the profession, presenting exciting opportunities as well as new challenges. The session will focus on the impact of primary care networks on the sector and the expansion of integrated working with multi professional teams from multiple organisations.
Join the session to hear the aspirations of emerging leaders, how they can overcome obstacles, leadership styles needed in the new environment and how the NHS can retain and lure the best people across the new evolving primary care landscape. The session will hear NHS England’s view on the opportunities for general practice nursing as part of the 10 point action plan and from Next Generation GP on the sustainability of the profession. By 2020, there could be as many as 1,000 physician associates working in primary care, the session will hear how this new breed of healthcare professional is fitting in and the future for practice managers in the world of PCNs.

15.50 – 16.40: Building local communities
This session will explore how local areas can harnass the power of communities by building relationships and enabling all parts of the community to play a role in the health and wellbeing of populations. This involves identifying community assets, co-designing, collaborative leadership, and taking a preventative and population health approach to health and care. The session will hear examples of local areas using this approach – including an update on the Wigan Deal.
Over the last seven years, Wigan Council have adopted a radical new approach to delivering services based on an informal agreement between the council and the people who live there as well as working with NHS and other partners. The session will also hear from North Halifax Primary Care Home, an established primary care network, which has worked with its community and developed a population health management approach, as well as national ADASS case studies on providing solutions to reflect local needs.
