Speaking on how the process of selecting the delivery partners and how they expect to engage community groups in their delivery, Dr Varney (pictured) said: “This will depend a bit on the project, the ICS has been refreshing the system approach to engagement and co-production and this will be published at some point in the next year. In the interim at a local level it is best to contact the Primary Care Network as the local place level, the details of the local PCN for where you are based is on the local GP practice website. ”
