PRIMARY CARE NETWORKS
Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer. Many people are living with long term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease or suffer with mental health issues and may need to access their local health services more often. To meet these needs, GP practices are working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in groups of practices known as primary care networks (PCNs). PCNs build on existing primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care for people close to home. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively caring for the people and communities they serve. Each of the 1,250 PCNs across England are based on GP registered patient lists, typically serving natural communities of between 30,000 to 50,000 people (with some flexibility). They are small enough to provide the personal care valued by both people and GPs, but large enough to have impact and economies of scale through better collaboration between GP practices and others in the local health and social care system. PCNs are led by clinical directors who may be a GP, general practice nurse, clinical pharmacist or other clinical profession working in general practice. Over 99% of general practices are part of a PCN, who sign up to the Network Contact DES which details their core requirements and entitlements.

This Sunday is World Encephalitis Day. We would like to support by promoting their FLAMES acronym to highlight the common symptoms of encephalitis. On their website they say:

"World Encephalitis Day is the biggest day of the year for people whose lives have been affected by inflammation of the brain. Since its launch in 2014, World Encephalitis Day has reached 225 million people directly in our efforts to grow international awareness of encephalitis."

Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes diarrhoea and vomiting.

The average number of patients in hospital with norovirus each day last week rose to over 1,000 for the first time this winter.
It can spread very easily, but washing your hands frequently with soap and water is the best way to stop it spreading.

If you catch it, stay at home until two days after the symptoms stop. Don’t visit hospitals or care homes during this time.

Ramadan is expected to run from Tuesday, 17 February to Wednesday, 18 March. If you have diabetes and are fasting, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your blood sugar and take care of yourself during this time.

Simple things like checking your levels regularly, planning your meals, and adjusting your routine if needed can make a big difference.
