A personal message from our PCN Clinical Director –
Dr Dan O’Neill
“The past year within the North & East Isle of Wight PCN has been a time of remarkable collaboration and achievement. Our practices have continued to work closer together to fulfil our PCN contracts, building on the strong relationships established since 2019.
We constantly seek opportunities to support our practices, so far establishing PCN wide Mental Health provision, Care Home Care Co-ordination teams, Saturday and Out of Hours Clinics, collaborative additional clinics during the busier periods of winter not to mention our teams of Social Prescribers, Musculoskeletal health(MSK) Practitioners and Health and Wellbeing Coaches. We have offered support to practice resilience and supported practices to deliver the highest quality holistic patient care during an extremely difficult period for healthcare delivery.
Understanding these challenges of practice funding streams, we have taken thoughtful measures to support financial stability.
By devolving elements of the PCN funding to practices with an internal Resilience and Collaboration agreement, we have bolstered our collective strength.
We are immensely proud of our achievements for our Island community but recognise that further development and collaborations are necessary with island-wide practices and all our care-providing partners, so we are moving forward with ethical and proactive determination to give a healthcare and wellbeing service that the Island deserves.“

What is a Primary Care Network?
Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS)
Primary Care Networks have been given funding to provide additional roles to create bespoke multi-disciplinary teams within their individual network.
PCN’s assess the needs of their local population and, working with local community services, make support available to people where it is most needed.
