Supporting Primary Care Leaders
​
Tara and team THC have provided our PCN with interim management support for about a year, and during this time, together we have achieved a huge amount. There is simply too much to list! Tara and her team's knowledge, experience, energy and passion for Primary Care Networks always shines through. If you, like myself, are new to PCN management and would value an extra pair of hands, I would highly recommend them".

Do you need support with booking your patients for their immunisations and vaccinations?
​
What can we offer?
At THC Primary Care, we have a team of experienced Care Coordinators who are trained on SystmOne and EMIS. They can relieve your practices and Primary Care Network of this process to free you up to focus on other areas.
How will this help?
By proactively calling patients ahead of the appointment, our service reduces DNAs and saves valuable nursing time.
Our team will work with practices and PCNs to process:
-
Outstanding immunisations
-
Incomplete immunisations reports
-
Routine immunisation schedules and recall schedules
​
This service will also support QOF and IIF indicators.
What does this service specifically cover?
The service specifically covers,
-
Call and recall for flu vaccinations
-
Call and recall for Covid-19 vaccinations
-
Call and recall for Pneumonia vaccinations
-

What is the delivery model?

What impact could we make?

This service also enables networks to utilise PCN funding and secure reimbursement based on achievement against investment and impact targets.
