Introduction
This online blueprint guide provides an overview of how the Folkestone, Hythe and Rural Hub PCN model was developed, how it works and what it delivers for staff and patients across the area. It is supported by a series of in-depth Perspectives guides and other practical resources and reference material which provide more detailed information on different aspects of design and implementation.
The pilot – which introduced a new model for managing online consultations and supported the delivery of a wide range of enhanced PCN-level services through a federated approach – demonstrates how a PCN can deliver across a range of strategic challenges: from improving access to services and building workforce capacity, to supporting collaborative working and delivering innovation at scale.
