Overseeing local primary care: We oversee GP Practices and health centres, working closely with doctors, nurses and practice teams to drive up the standards of patient care, improve safety and patient experience, and support staff to foster a secure and positive environment. We produce evidence-based governance frameworks, and provide a bank of staff, advice and support to achieve safe, stable and sustainable services. We run clinical projects for our partners, including an award-winning service to care for patients acute, urgent needs in their own homes.

Suppling expert services and teams for GP Practices: We schedule care provision for evenings, weekends and bank holidays to open up appointments for patients at times more convenient for them while keeping running costs for individual practices down. We provide salaried, locum GPs for Practices who need them to continue to run services. We provide independent, evidence-based advices on Practice models, procedures and processes so that GPs can run efficient, integrated services, and design and commission the services they know their patients need.

Non-core members of PCNs: We support and advise Clinical Directors of PCNs with their financial and administrative responsibilities. We recruit and employ staff for the PCNs and are developing clinical supervision models to support them. Our Leadership Team works closely with the PCN Boards to help design and integrate new roles and services within primary and community care settings. 

PICS provides professional management services including recruitment, employment systems, finance, training, project and service development and communications. We support federations of approximately 70 General Practices who are within 11 Primary Care Networks in: Ashfield North; Ashfield South; Mansfield North; Rosewood (Mansfield South); Newark; Sherwood; Byron (Hucknall); Arnold & Calverton; Arrow Health (Carlton); Synergy Health; and Nottingham West.
