- Abstract
There are 1250 primary care networks (PCNs) in the English NHS. Unlike predecessor primary care organisations such as practice-based commissioning or primary care groups, PCNs do not have defined per capita financial allocations for management costs. As we contemplate 2021, PCNs face the challenge of leading and supporting local general practice teams through the remaining phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, and meeting the additional needs of patients and their families in a challenging post-pandemic context.
