2022 – Community Pharmacy Primary Care Network (PCN) Lead Meetings
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan, with general practices being a part of a network, typically covering 30,000-50,000 patients. The networks will provide the structure and funding for services to be developed locally, in response to the needs of the patients they serve. It is important that community pharmacy teams are fully involved in the work of their PCN and this is being encouraged via the Pharmacy Quality Scheme.
From January 2023 Community Pharmacy Leicestershire and Rutland committee took the decision to withdraw the community pharmacy PCN Lead meetings until funding for the role is negotiated and secured.
The community pharmacy PCN Leads Meetings was a safe space were all the PCN Leads, could discuss, share their workstreams and best practice principles.
