Publication of PCN Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service
Practices can, from 1 April 2024, now collaborate across their PCN to deliver vaccinations during both core and enhanced hours as outlined in the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service and using the relevant schedule in the PCNs Network Agreement. However, practices must ensure that appointments are available at a range of times across the week and are acceptable and convenient to their collective registered population.
Please also note that practices must ensure a lead practice is identified for each clinic where routine vaccinations are offered to their collective registered population. This lead practice will be responsible for ordering the relevant vaccines and adhering to national guidance on vaccine governance and handling. Practices cannot ‘pool’ vaccine they individually order via IMMFORM. Please note: Section 7a services have not yet been delegated and therefore commissioning of Section 7a services remains a regional commissioning responsibility.
