Team's

The latest bulletin from the Sackwell & Binthorpe ICS offers a steer on establishing a 'team of teams' in your neighbourhood.

Those close to vaporising (the highest level of alert) will trigger a range of support measures from the ICS. These may include additional resilience training, help to try harder, strong encouragement from the ICB or a personal visit from the director of performance and recovery at the regional team. I always like to end this update on a positive note, so the last word goes to Dr Fuller. An integrated neighbourhood team encompasses more than one PCN, so is bigger than a neighbourhood but smaller than a place. A place encompasses PCNs and neighbourhoods as well as one or more secondary care trusts. A PCN is a group of practices serving a population of between 30,000 and 50,000 at neighbourhood level.
