Primary Care Networks are expected to mature at pace and improve the health outcomes of their populations.
Primary Care
Primary Care and General Practice are under pressure. The volume and intensity of workload has increased, there are backlogs of care resulting from the pandemic, there remains a continued uncertainty around the future workforce and a renewed expectation to work at scale in Primary Care Networks and within ICSs.
- Whether it’s the transformation of a practice, its systems, processes and/or behaviours, the development of a PCN or the redesign of a care pathway benefitting from new ways of working, we get to know you and understand your challenges and then co-create tailored solutions to tackle them.
- SCW partners with Primary Care to design coordinated, personalised and integrated solutions.
