The East PCN is looking forward to continuing to build and strengthen relationships across organisations, with a focus on delivering against the PCN Priorities: Obesity, Mental Health, Frailty, Alcohol. 

Targeted work includes bringing together practice and district nurses to treat patients with leg ulcers and working with Turning Point to deliver training to practice staff around recognising and responding to excessive alcohol use.

The East PCN will be using the full mix of skills from across the team to offer support to patients with multiple health conditions to enable them to manage their health and increase their wellbeing.

The Social Prescribers and Health and Wellbeing Coach will be connecting to activity taking place within Talk Community Hubs across the PCN. This will enable practice teams to understand the good work being undertaken by the voluntary, charitable and social enterprise sector across communities and to use those networks to gather information and share ideas around how to keep people healthy and well.  

The East PCN will also be increasing health checks and working hard to tackle health inequalities.
