PROGRAMMES

The CARE Programme

As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, local NHS organisations will increasingly focus on population health and local partnerships with local authority-funded services, through Integrated Care Systems. The CARE programme will enable you to connect with like-minded people to develop and effect health changes locally.

This is an excellent opportunity for networking across primary care roles and gaining insight into the local system and future of Lancashire and South Cumbria.

We are waiting for updates regarding this programme.

What is CARE?

We are waiting for updates regarding this programme.

CARE is a learning and development programme that empowers general practice nurses and other primary care professionals to play a key role in their primary care network, to shape services based on population health needs and to strengthen their leadership. Focussing on wellbeing and building and harnessing resilience, the programme uses digital technology to connect primary care professionals and to support joined-up, multi-professional working.

CARE’s practical and person-centered approach has already led to more joined-up working in primary care networks, bringing together a range of health and social care professionals as a complete care community. This is not only helping with immediate acute care needs but is also supporting patients whose long-term conditions are likely to deteriorate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How long is the CARE programme?

The CARE programme is delivered by the National Association of Primary CARE (NAPC), consisting of 8 x 2-hour sessions run bi-weekly, with a focus on both population health management and wellbeing and resilience. An overview of the sessions can be found attached, with delivery scheduled as follows:
