Overview

Thank you for your continued work to strengthen PCN collaboration and delivery. 
 
NCL PCNs are asked to inform NCL ICB how you intend to use 2024/25 PCN Development funding and to confirm you understand the requirements of the funding by completing this online form by Friday, 31st January 2025. 
 
Please note, non-completion of this online form may result in funds being returned to the ICB.
 
All PCNs are requested to complete the PCN Support Level Framework (SLF) (a copy of this Framework can be found in the below 'Related' section of the webpage) and also choose one or more of the other options (Workforce - Supporting skills and capabilities; Improving ways of working; Other areas of work).
 
Use of the funding must not duplicate with other sources of funding e.g. capacity and access improvement funding, or with functions already provided by other parts of the system e.g. NCL training hub workforce education leads.
 
As this funding is non-recurrent, PCNs must have plans in place to maintain funding where activities introduce recurrent costs.
 
PCNs will be asked to report during April 2025 on progress to date (recognising work may continue into 2025/26) including:
•Work completed to date
•Measurable impact of the work
•Final breakdown of allocation of the funds to each area of work.
 
When developing plans, please consider these within the context of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) methodology.
