Additional resources: The Perspectives series

The Folkestone, Hythe and Rural PCN project team have developed a collection of practical Perspectives guides to support this blueprint. These provide further advice on how to establish a similar model and capture the team’s experiences and lessons learnt. Their aim is to provide other PCNs with practical support and first-person perspectives on how to manage similar projects. 

Download the following guides:

Perspectives Guide 1: Building access and capacity through a hub approach 

Perspectives Guide 2: Designing and developing your hub workforce 

Perspectives Guide 3: Innovating at scale: lessons from the hub pilot 

Perspectives Guide 4: Harnessing your hub’s data and intelligence 

Other downloadable resources

Below are all the other frameworks and documentation referenced in the blueprint guide, many of which can be lifted or adapted for use in other PCNs.
