Improving the Primary Care Network DES service specification How to improve the PCN DES Welcome, please comment and I will try an answer SUBSCRIBE AND COMMENT Check out my original review where I went through the DES: here--https://youtu.be/K1qwyxt63f0 Declaration - I am not involved in the negotiations. I am Nottingham City East PCN Clinical director but these are my own thoughts. For some backstory in 2015 I wrote a further Blueprint for Primary care : https://egplearning.co.uk/a-further-blueprint-for-primary-care/ with a colleague as Jeremy Hunt launched the five year forward view. Some of these aims have been achieved (indemnity) but much can still be done.  How to improve the DES- I will talk firstly about general changes and the headline points. Then each specification in turn with my more innovative (controversial) ideas at the end.Ethos The release time of the specification has caused a lot of frustration. Even more so in the first webinar where little engagement was offered, just reading the spec. This led in part to one CD resigning live. NHSE doing an open consultation on the draft is a good thing. Feigning listening is not.  At points, the specification makes reference to evidence. In particular vanguard projects. However, it neglects to mention that vanguard projects have had significant higher levels of funding for each aspect and therefore converting this to specifications for networks to follow is a fallacy.  You cant use a recipe that feeds four people that costs £10 and say provide the same meal for £2 all the time - even with using foodbanks.  The original outline of the DES was to stabilise primary care. This draft does not do this but further destabilises it by utilising the additional roles above the capacity of work the can create and negates the fact networks will be part funding them. This was a poor way to show that NHSE/I was listening to the needs of general practice. Many comment the draft is intentionally too far to the right to allow any softening to be accepted as better than the original. This is a sceptics dream.  For this process to work- show General Practice that NHSE is truly listening. Much of this has been done amazingly by Dr Nikki Kanani and I do not envy her position. I am mindful of do not shoot the messenger being very apt here.  Lets move on. The following is a combination of my views and those from the various forums I engage in.  Trust  General practice. If I had control I would keep existing structures that could help foster better collaborative working and simply offer the resources to networks to use for their local area.  General Practice has proved to be the most cost-effective method of delivering healthcare currently doing 90% of the NHS workload for less than 9% of the funding. Trust the networks to deliver primary care with the simple metric of improving the health of the network population.  Ideally to the global sum but is not then to the networks directly to use as they seem fit to provide roles or services for better patient care along them 5 categories as best for their population.  However, we do not live in a world of trust despite GPs consistently being the most trusted role in the country.  So if working towards the confines of adjusting the existing DES and its specification let us have a look.  Worth looking at the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire LMC document link:

Primary Care Network DES specification review 2019 My review of the 2019 Primary Care Network Service Specification- the good, the bad and the confusing.  This is the live recorded review of the draft primary care network service specification.To see the document in full use this link.PCN Clinical Director resources playlist:General Practitioner resources playlist:Make sure you leave your own feedback via the survey here (see bottom of page), or send an email to england.networkscontract@nhs.netBelow is the draft version of my notes.  Welcome My perspective on the primary care network service specs Cover the good, the bad and the confusing. Check out my PCN resources and General practitioner playlist (in show notes)Save you and your patients time with tech enhancing your primary care and learning Why I am talking about this - am a GP also PCN director of NCE - 66k patients in a deprived area of Nottingham.  Firstly the timing of the documents Release of specs day before Xmas eve- while aware impacted by the election, purdah and process, it speaks to the perception that when PCN CDs work is irrelevant to NHS England.  However, I commend Nikki Kanani’s engagement on SoMe and the will to gain feedback before making the spec official,  as well as engagement events beforehand (twitter chat and webinars) So emphasis that this is draft specifications and can be changed. So let us take a look….. The document starts by talking about the investment being offered. While there is a significant increase in funding being offered, it is important to note the UK still invests less than most other western countries especially in the G8 at about $1000 less per person.  It also mentions a 5-year contract. I would like to mention that it is not really a 5y contract but a 5y agreement of the funds. If it was a contract the terms would be clear from the start. Instead, we are having ongoing annual negotiations of the requirements - which is no different to what we have been exposed to in primary care.  It then identifies seven asks or as they have been locally called the significant seven of which five are to start from April 2020 and another two from April 2021 Structured Medication Reviews and Optimisation • Enhanced Health in Care Homes (jointly with community services providers) • Anticipatory Care (jointly with community services providers) • Personalised Care; and • Supporting Early Cancer Diagnosis1.8 When will we have clarity on the process and use of the Network Dashboard? 1.11 Funding is not allocated directly for the delivery of the service specifications - let that sink in.  1.12 Extra capacity from the new roles in 20/21 - much of this was promised to stabilise practices not ask them to do more and does not allow for the extra 30% investment which is not supported by the existing pots.  1.16 funding for community service providers commented - limited
