North Lincolnshire East Primary Care Network (PCN)

Trent View Medical Practice (B81065*) - is part of the North Lincolnshire East PCN.  In total, the East PCN has approximately 31,100 registered patients.

Other GP practices that are part of the East PCN are:

Riverside Surgery, Brigg (B81109)

The Killingholme Surgery, Immingham (B81648)

West Town Surgery, Barton-upon-Humber (B81647)

A key feature of practices coming together as part of a Primary Care Network means that every patient registered at those practices is able to access appointments later in the evening, as well as making use of those practices that open on Saturdays. It does not mean that every single practice will open in the evening and on Saturdays; it does mean that a number of practices within each network will be able to offer these appointments to all patients across the PCN.

What is a PCN?

A PCN is a group of GP practices working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks (PCNs). PCNs build on existing primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care for people close to home. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively caring for the people and communities they serve. PCNs are part of the Integrated Care System (ICS) for the area.  North Lincolnshire is part of the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Each of the 1,250 PCNs across England are based on GP registered patient lists, typically serving natural communities of between 30,000 to 50,000 people (with some flexibility). They are small enough to provide the personal care valued by both people and GPs, but large enough to have impact and economies of scale through better collaboration between GP practices and others in the local health and social care system.

PCNs are led by clinical directors who may be a GP, general practice nurse, clinical pharmacist or other clinical profession working in general practice. Over 99% of general practices are part of a PCN, who sign up to the Direct Network Services (DES) contract which details their core requirements and entitlements.

The clinical director role is funded on a sliding scale depending on the PCN size (equivalent to 0.25 of a full-time equivalent (FTE [37.5 hours per week]) GP post per 50,000 patients). PCNs are expected to draw on the expertise of staff already employed by their constituent practices, and will receive funding to employ additional staff under an Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). The scheme provides for reimbursement of between 70% and 100% per role. The remainder of the cost of employing these allied health professionals to be met by member practices within the PCN.

The six reimbursable roles are:

Advanced Practitioners

First Contact Practitioners

Advanced Clinical Practitioner Nurses

Physician Associates

Mental Health Practitioners

Clinical Pharmacists
