Support for ‘vulnerable’ practices
NHS England announced £10m of funding for so-called vulnerable practices last year, recently expanded to £40m as part of a wider “resilience” programme under the GP Forward View. The programme offers commissioners and practices financial support to strengthen local primary care provision.
PCC is working with practices looking for support to make sustainable improvements to their finances, workforce and business processes.
Our comprehensive diagnostic covers practice performance, premises, staffing, patient care, practice management and contractual performance indicators. It includes rapid analysis of strengths and weaknesses together with recommendations and where needed support for improvement.
“The diagnostic provides important clues but the solution has to be to support the practice to make its own sustainable improvements,” says PCC associate director Mark Beesley.
