You will be aware that most of the nearly 7000 GP practices iin England have taken up the PCN DES. This would not have been possible without the LMC's supporting practices locally to forge relationships and to facilitiate some difficult conversations between practices.  Acknowledging that this is the first step in the process, and that PCNs will continue to develop over time with Clinical Directors' leadership, the BMA has been developing a package of support for Clinical Directors and PCNs.  Prior to launch at the end of September, we wanted to provide you with some information on what it will include, to support PCNs in choosing their support for their own development.

The package will consist of:

- Learning & Development

- PCN App

- National PCN Conference

- HR support and advice

- Legal advice from BMA law

- Insurance and indemnity, audit and advice

We will report back here when further information is available.
