Primary Care Network Estates Strategy Development

NHS Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) wishes to appoint a consultant to produce a Primary Care Network (PCN) estate strategy for the 5 PCNs across the Greater Huddersfield area.

The final deliverable arising from the programme of work will support understanding of the current GP practice estate provision within its boundary, the capacity and utilisation rates and the overall condition of the buildings.

The PCNs have a need to understand the suitability of the estate to accommodate an expanding primary care workforce and the delivery of enhanced community services. The PCNs must plan for the sustainability of the current estate in the future and therefore the reviews should consider the durability of the estate across the short, medium and long term.

The PCN estates strategy will need to be evidenced based, referenced and specific wherever possible. It will highlight where the gaps are in the clinical offering - what does the clinical need / demand look like now and future trends versus the clinical resource availability (skills, capacity, profile, numbers, location etc).

The appointed consultants will have to effectively engage with local primary care to co-produce an effective and robust estates strategy, which documents patient needs and clinical resource understanding and profiling to avoid the risk of developing under-utilised / redundant spaces.
