To achieve this aim the module will look in more detail at how the PBC practice or group and the PCT co-operate and work together. How do budgets, information and business cases work in practice? How functional the relationship is – is it measured in the quarterly Department of Health independent practice survey?

  • Accountability agreement between PCTs and practices
  • Commissioning Plans
  • Agreement on meeting management costs Data sharing and collecting agreement

Appointment to Lord Darzis Review Board

 

The National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) very much welcomes the appointment of Dr James Kingsland, its Chairman, to Lord Darzi’s review board.  The announcement was made by Ben Bradshaw, Minister of State for Health at NAPC’s Annual Conference, held on 17th and 18th of October 2007.  Mr Bradshaw, MP confirmed that the appointment of Dr Kingsland would significantly strengthen Lord Darzi’s board.

Dr Kingsland commented:  ‘I am delighted to be invited to be involved in the work of the review board on behalf of NAPC and its wider membership’.  ‘This is an important and key review for primary care’, he continued, ‘and it is critical that contributions are made by the innovative and forward thinking clinicians and managers, whom NAPC represents.  It will be important to strike the right balance in delivering solutions which address local problems, while avoiding reinvention of the wheel over and over again.’
