NHS Confederations PCN Advisory Group

This week Emma speaks to Professor Aruna Garcea, a GP partner and primary care network clinical director in Leicester. Aruna is chair of the NHS Confederation’s primary care network advisory group and she also sits on her integrated care system as a representative clinical director.

In this conversation Aruna explains the impact PCNs have had already, what makes a strong PCN and some of the key challenges networks have faced. We also talk about the introduction of integrated care systems and what these could mean for PCNs and practices as well as how PCNs can work effectively to support GP practices.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and produced by Czarina Deen.
