National Service Specifications
Primary care networks (PCNs) will eventually be required to deliver a set of seven national service specifications.
Five will start by April 2020: structured medication reviews, enhanced health in care homes, anticipatory care (with community services), personalised care and supporting early cancer diagnosis. The remaining two will start by 2021: cardiovascular disease case-finding and locally agreed action to tackle inequalities.
As a primary care network we will also be expected to think about the wider health of our population, taking a proactive approach to managing population health and, from 2020/21, assessing the needs of their local population to identify people who would benefit from targeted, proactive support.
From 20/21 we also be looking at others services and possibility of engaging physician associates and first contact physiotherapists.
