Podcast - Katie Collin - Neighbourhood Provider Contracts: What Do They Mean for General Practice?

This week, Ben is joined by Katie Collin, Partner at Ramsay Brown, to discuss NHS England's consultation on Single Neighbourhood Provider contracts and Multi-Neighbourhood Provider contracts.

They explore what the proposed contracts could mean for GP practices, PCNs and federations, including the potential impact on funding, governance and locally commissioned services.

Katie explains the different contract options, whether PCNs should consider incorporation, and the potential role of federations and collaboratives as MNPs.

The discussion also looks at the opportunities and risks of shifting more services into primary care, and why strong governance, transparency and financial planning will be essential as neighbourhood working develops.

With the consultation still underway, Katie shares her thoughts on what practices and PCNs should be considering now.
