How to Qualify as a Group Purchase
To qualify for a group purchase with Blue Stream Academy, multiple GP practices or healthcare providers must subscribe under a single purchase.
Integration of Groups into the NHS Structure
The NHS structure is designed to deliver integrated and personalised healthcare through a collaborative framework involving several key entities.
- Primary Care Network (PCN): These networks consist of groups of GP practices collaborating with various healthcare services to provide integrated health and social care to local populations, particularly those with complex needs. PCNs aim to improve service coordination and deliver personalised care.
- Integrated Care Boundaries (ICB): The Integrated Care Board defines the geographical area where integrated care is planned and delivered. It ensures seamless collaboration among health and care services within that area to provide coordinated care to the population.
- Integrated Care System (ICS): ICSs bring together NHS and local authority commissioners and providers within a regional or local health system. They collectively manage resources, deliver NHS standards, and improve population health by planning and delivering integrated healthcare services across a defined geographical area.
How They Work Together: PCNs operate within the frameworks established by ICSs to deliver localised integrated care. They collaborate with other healthcare providers within ICBs to ensure cohesive service provision and seamless patient experiences. ICSs oversee and coordinate the activities of PCNs and other providers within their jurisdiction, aiming to optimise population health outcomes and deliver high-quality integrated care.
