This time last year we caught up with Clinical Director and now GP of the Year Dr Farzana Hussain to get her early thoughts about her (then) new role as a PCN lead. Fast forward 12 months and Farzana is back to share an update on the challenges she and her network team have faced and where they have achieved success, in spite of the pressures of meeting the demands of the primary care contract and the small matter of a global pandemic. From developing and managing relationships, to understanding and embedding additional roles and identifying where further support is required across the board, this week’s podcast is a fascinating insight into the world of a Clinical Director during the early life of a PCN.
