Pulse PCN

Pulse PCN is the award-winning brand for primary care network clinical directors. Launched in April 2021, we are the only brand dedicated to the work of this tranche of primary care leaders. Pulse PCN is supported by leading GP brand Pulse. We deliver news, views, insight, reports and roundtables, the latter of which are attended by clinical directors from across the country. There is also a Pulse PCN events series that takes place in London, Birmingham, Newcastle and Liverpool. We provide tailored information on all aspects of the PCN contract, from impact and investment fund changes and additional roles reimbursement scheme (ARRS) updates to advice and insights from clinical directors on the pilots and projects they have set up in their network. We are guided by our board of clinical directors drawn from London, Kent, and Yorkshire and our team of expert columnists: chair of the NHS Confederation primary care network group Prof Aruna Garcea; PCN clinical director Dr Sian Stanley; PCN management expert Tara Humphrey, consultant Ben Gowland, and Charlotte Osborn-Forde, chief executive, National Academy for Social Prescribing. Pulse PCN delivers two newsletters a week, along with regular updates via this LinkedIn page and our Pulse PCN community page. What clinical directors say about Pulse PCN: “Pulse PCN is uniquely placed as the only publication that properly tackles the day-to-day issues faced by practices working at scale. Topical issues are swiftly reported on, and all aspects of an issue are covered. ‘We will often share stories on our PCN WhatsApp group which then starts debate and supports direction of travel. We use ideas we see covered as the basis for considering new workstreams. I consider it my first line news source for topical PCN issues.” Dr Laura Mount, clinical director, Central and West Warrington PCN, Cheshire
