This event is being held to inform you about your local Primary Care Networks (PCN’s), which areas they cover identifying which PCN you will sit in and how this may mean a different way of working for you as a community pharmacy. Primary Care Networks are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan, with general practices being required to be in a network from 1st July 2019. Although general practice will be at the heart of PCNs, NHS England has stated it wants clinical pharmacists (employed by the networks) and community pharmacists to be engaged in the work of the networks.
Please note that this event is only open to pharmacies and locums working in the Blackburn with Darwen footprint, if you work in another area within Lancashire more dates will be announced shortly.
There is some information already on the CPL website about the emerging PCNs which you may find useful to read before you attend: https://pharmacylancashire.org/resources/nhs-new-models-care-ics-icp-pcn/
A light buffet will be served from 5.45pm. Meeting starts 6.30pm
