Benefits to CCGs/PCNs:

• Improved capacity utilisation at local level • Local targeted campaigns • Analytics & insights to support decision-making • Better value for money

CCGs and PCNs are increasingly trying to find more efficient ways to commission, track and report on local health programmes. Using the Patient Access platform, they will have the power to centrally create and distribute locality commissioning so GPs can refer and patients can self-enrol to bespoke healthcare initiatives.
