Changing the local PBC dynamic
A year ago our PBC group had a realisation that things couldn't continue without there being some big changes made. I had just taken over as chair and things came to a bit of a head when the PBC manager left shortly afterwards. Employed by the PCT but working in a GP environment, she was inevitably caught in the middle of different agendas.
I held an awayday for all the GP members shortly after I took over as chair. We thought about what our aspirations were for PBC and I fed back to the then-PCT chief executive that we felt PBC had to be a bigger deal for the PCT and much more about commissioning in the round rather than smaller schemes. The chief executive listened, agreed with where we were coming from and asked what we wanted.
