We deliver on this via a number of co-ordinated workstreams:
Providing PCNs with bespoke support and guidance on pan-London and local issues
We have dedicated primary care, medical, communications, resources, GP support and training teams supporting PCNs.
We are currently supporting several PCNs across the Londonwide areas with a variety of issues including the reconstitution of PCNs, supporting PCNs with departing members and creating new PCNs, maintaining relationships between member practices, financial settlements, ARRS TUPE agreements, subcontracting advice and much more
Working on behalf of PCNs engaging with place, ICB, regional and national leads
We engage at all levels of the NHS system on your behalf, working to unify the GP voice, reduce workload pressures, improve local contracts, provide strategic insight and direction, influence decision makers and key stakeholders and represent local interests at a national level through engagement with GPCE and LMC conferences.
Providing guidance, resources and training for PCNs
Our scheduled training can be viewed here and this brochure details the full range of training that can be provided, should PCNs wish to commission training to meet a specific need.
Recent Londonwide LMCs guidance and resources for practices and PCNs is available via the website and includes guidance on giving notice to stop provision of unfunded services, and guidance on online consulting requirements
Our continued support for PCNs
Londonwide LMCs continues to adapt to the known, undefined and unknown challenges facing general practice. We are constantly reviewing how we best support PCNs and general practice in different ways, and how we respond to these challenges.
Supporting PCNs in the future
Known challenges
 | We will continue to support practices and develop a broader understanding of the experiences and needs of GPs and their teams. |
 | We work collaboratively on initiatives such as the current Integrated Neighbourhood Team programme, expanding our strategic and policy development role. |
Undefined challenges
 | We are mindful of the pending 10 Year Plan for the NHS and the Comprehensive Spending Review. We continue to develop powerful political and stakeholder relationships to better advocate for London general practices and PCNs, and represent your views. |
 | We will look to keep general practices and PCNs informed about these changes and provide insight on how they could affect you, including trying to mitigate risks. |
Unknown challenges
 | These happen when we least expect them. Londonwide LMCs understands the importance of resilience, adaptability and continuity for practitioners, practices and PCNs. |
 | We are constantly looking for opportunities to innovate to improve how we support your changing needs. Examples of this include our work in training staff, succession planning, data security and compliance. |
