West Leeds PCN are currently testing the usage of an AI tool called Heidi, an AI powered medical scribe to allow our clinicians to focus more on you and your concerns during an appointment.
For more info on what this tool is and how it affects your healthcare, please see the link to our page with details on what the tool is, how it will be used and of your rights as a patient.
Our Heart Failure Nurse, Michelle Young, has recently been featured in a new video with the Heart Failure Academy to help show patients and clinicians what happens during a Heart Failure Review appointment.
A message from our Business Partner & PCN Lead Practice Manager
The past year within West Leeds PCN has seen all the practices continue to work closely together to achieve our PCN contracts, building on cohesive relationships that began back in 2019. We are constantly looking for opportunities to support practices and have established PCN led NHS Health Check clinics, Learning Disability Health Check Clinics and annual reviews in care homes. We have continued to prioritise practice resilience at the same time as the highest quality holistic patient care and have put many steps in place to realise this. Our in house Booking and Administration team diverts telephone contact and repetitive administrative tasks from practices, centralising this function within the PCN. We have also given serious consideration to the precarious nature of practice funding streams and as a result we have been able to devolve some elements of PCN funding back down to practices where an internal Resilience and Collaboration agreement is in place.
We are fiercely proud of what we have achieved for our community in West Leeds and in particular of the ethical and proactive way in which we have conducted ourselves. West Leeds PCN is a dynamic and effective organisation that will always do what is does “because it is the right thing to do”
