Healthcare Leader Primary care digest  

Healthcare Leader Primary care digest is a new monthly newsletter, launching in April, bringing together leading opinions from core primary care professions.

The Healthcare Leader Primary care digest newsletter will focus on issues relevant to general practice, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry and optometry, highlighting stories from Healthcare Leader as well as our other media brands, Pulse, Nursing in Practice and The Pharmacist. This will provide our audience of leaders in integrated care boards (ICBs) with a quick, direct insight into the professions across primary care.

We have columns from prominent key opinion leaders being showcased in the April newsletter: Andrew Lane head of the National Pharmacy Association, Eddie Crouch head of the British Dental Association and David Hewlett, group director of  FODO, The Association of Eye Care Providers/DHSC advisor. This is to mark April 1 when the ICBs will begin to take over running dentistry, optometry and pharmacy.

Healthcare Leader aims to support NHS system leaders in taking forward their strategies for the future of health and social care. Healthcare Leader features expert opinion and insight on the aims of ICBs as well as the latest news.

Earlier this month, Healthcare Leader launched the ICB 101 series, introducing the aims and organisations of the new NHS leaders through exclusive interviews with NHS CEOs.

Editor Victoria Vaughan says: ‘There is a huge amount of optimism from the new integrated care board leaders and their mission to reduce health inequalities but relatively little is known about the plans of this whole new tranche of NHS leadership. Our Healthcare Leader ICB 101 interviews seek to provide an overview of the ICB areas and the current thinking of the new NHS leaders, particularly with regard to primary care, and to shed light on what NHS system working means for primary care staff and patients.’
