Next Generation Patient Flow - navigating the move to prevention and neighbourhood working

Next Generation Patient Flow focuses on harnessing advanced digital capabilities to transform the way Practices, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), and Federations manage demand and deliver care. By enabling smarter navigation, prevention-focused strategies, and local integration, it supports a shift toward neighbourhood-based working. These tools empower teams to anticipate patient needs, streamline care pathways, and foster collaboration across communities—helping primary care evolve from reactive treatment to proactive, joined-up health management.
