Understand the priorities to maximise your chances of a sale

There are 1,307 Primary Care Networks in England – but finding the right way into them can be difficult. For a start, what precisely are they? Networks vary in size, with a few under 30,000 people, and others serving populations of varying sizes. I work with PCNs at 30,000 all the way to 12.0,000 patients, all with different needs. Clearly, one size doesn’t fit all. Planting your flag in this landscape requires a solid understanding of what a PCN needs and how best you can give it to them. You know your products and services could fit in right at the heart of a PCN agenda but, when you’re sat down with the clinical director, or PCN Board Member what tactics are you going to use? What are they looking for and how are you going to persuade them you can supply it? This workshop will give you the answers.

We’ll turn PCNs inside out together

We’ll cover everything from the basics – what Primary Care Networks are and how they function – to the advanced – where they are in terms of progress and what’s required of them going forward. We’ll also look at how they fit into the communities they serve.

We’ll drop the jargon and cut to the chase

Direct Enhanced Service, Impact and Investment Fund, Enhanced Access – all crucial terms when it comes to working with a PCN but just jargon to many. We’ll investigate these key features and clearly establish the opportunities they represent. You’ll quickly become an expert in PCN terminology.

We’ll identify exactly where your services fit

We’ll focus in on PCN priorities and where your products and services fit in with them. We’ll look at the prevention agenda, where it sits with the NHS Long Term Plan and medicines management. You’ll be able to identify where your offer chimes with these opportunities.

“Scott ran a series of workshops and 1-2-1 sessions on working with primary care and I could not recommend him highly enough. He was supremely knowledgeable about the changes sessions, he took our group from being extremely ignorant to very confident in the finer details of primary care. No question was too simple and no request too much. We all found his support invaluable and left the sessions much better for them."

Build your knowledge base and leave the competition behind

Understanding how Primary Care Networks work is difficult – and that’s before you’ve sat at the table face to face with the decision-makers

  • How can you drill down into the pressing needs of a PCN?
  • How do you shut out the noise and get them to see the value in your proposition?

This 2.5-hour workshop gives you the answers to these and many more questions. As a trusted management consultant working directly inside the NHS for 17 years – I can give you the inside track to land your deals faster. Through my work with General Practice in Primary Care Networks, GP federations and super practices, I know in razor sharp detail how to get your products fully embedded into treatment pathways, making it extremely difficult for your competitors to swoop in and dislodge you.
