Supporting Localities and Primary Care Networks

Throughout the three years of its existence, the Federation has played a key role in supporting practices as they adopted new forms of working together, initially as Localities and more recently as emerging Primary Care Networks 

Localities 

Oadby & Wigston (Wigston Central, Bushloe, South Wigston, Central, Croft, Severn, Rosemead) 

North Blaby (Kingsway, Glenfield, The Limes. Forest House, Enderby, Narborough) 

South Blaby & Lutterworth (Northfield, Wycliffe, Masharani, Hazelmere, Countesthorpe) 

SLAM (Melton, County, Jubilee, Long Clawson) 

Rutland (Uppingham, Oakham, Market Overton & Somerby, Empingham) 

Harborough (Billesdon, Kibworth, Two Shires, Husbands Bosworth, Market Harborough) 

These Locality hubs developed plans for joint working between practices and integrating with community, mental health and social care services in their respective areas. The Federation played a key role in supporting and facilitating these initiatives, working alongside the hubs – supporting their development and growth. 

Primary Care Networks 

Given the Federation’s experience of helping their member practices in developing their localities joint working plans and supporting their implementation, contracts and business development – it was natural to continue to support them to establish themselves as seven Primary Care Networks (PCN). 

Below are details of each PCN, its Accountable Clinical Director and the nature of support provided by the Federation 

MSV (Melton, Syston, Vale) – Accountable Clinical Director – Dr Fahreen Dhanji 

The Federation led the development of the Mandatory Agreement Schedules and completed a First Business Plan for the PCN. 

North Blaby (FH, Limes, Glenfield, Enderby, Kingsway) – Accountable Clinical Director – Dr Simon Vincent 

The Federation managed the ACD recruitment process, led the development of the Mandatory Agreement Schedules and completed a first draft Business Plan for the PCN. Its Chief Operating Officer agreed to be a non-voting member of the PCN Board. 

South Blaby (Countesthorpe, Northfield, Masharani, Wycliffe, Hazelmere) – Accountable Clinical Director – Dr Rachel Omand 

The Federation provided a draft set of Mandatory Agreement Schedules and will be supporting the PCN to develop its Business Plan. 

Rutland (Oakham, MOSS, Empingham, Uppingham) – Accountable Clinical Director – Dr Hilary Fox
