What
is our PCN Project?
This
project is a new and exciting opportunity to help reform and influence
Derbyshire's end of life care, with a strong focus on the link between
identification, deprivation and admission.
Our
PCN Project is taking a data driven approach and focuses on four identified
PCNs with low identification and high deprivation at end of life
-
Chesterfield & Dronfield PCN
-
North Derbyshire PCN
-
North Hardwick Bolsover PCN
-
South Hardwick PCN

to ensure preferred place of death is an upheld choice.
