Primary Care Network (PCN)Hub

What are Primary Care Networks and why are they important for Community Pharmacy?

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan . There are currently 15 PCNs in Derbyshire. 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.

The networks will have expanded neighbourhood teams which will comprise a range of staff such as GPs, clinical pharmacists, district nurses, community geriatricians, dementia workers and Allied Health Professionals such as physiotherapists and podiatrists/chiropodists, joined by social care and the voluntary sector’.

Further information can be found on the PSNC website if you want to know more.

This short video from NHS England explains the concept of PCNs and how the new way of working will provide better access to health care for patients.

Primary Care Networks in Derbyshire

Derbyshire currently has 8 PLACE’s and 15 PCNs. Collaboration with non-GP providers, such as community pharmacies, has been a requirement for PCNs from April 2020. It is clear that community pharmacy has a huge role to play in the success of PCNs.

What it means is that some of the activities we do will need to change, and each pharmacy will need to work with their own local PCN to meet the local needs. As we know health needs vary greatly across the County, so even though you are close geographically you may be doing different things to your colleagues.

We need to build our links between community pharmacies in our PCN footprint and all the other primary care providers – particularly the local GP practices and we will support you to do this.  We are funding Community Pharmacy Clinical Leads for each PCN and their contact details are listed below

We have carried out an exercise to map each pharmacy to a PCN based primarily on your geographical location.
