PEC Chairs
Continuing change may present many challenges to clinical leadership in PCTs - but PECs and clinical leaders are essential to maintain the strategic overview and the connectivity with the full range of policy initiatives.
In this area the network offers resources and opportunities for PEC Chairs and members to learn from each other, and influence policy makers and the wider NHS.
