Supporting general practice, primary care networks and their teams through winter 2022 and beyond

To support the NHS during this period of sustained significant pressure, NHS England has taken action to boost capacity ahead of winter. Recognising the fundamental importance of primary care in underpinning NHS services, a critical part of this plan is to increase capacity outside of acute trusts, which includes the scaling up of additional roles in primary care, increasing the flexibility for primary care networks (PCNs) to do this, and taking further action to support general practice.

The following LMC document provides an overview as to what is being done to support General Practices and PCNs:
