This will include participating in and helping to integrate local collaborative models of working such as enhanced access arrangements, Primary Care Networks initiatives, NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) Primary Care Strategy and other strategies that have elements that are relevant to primary care (e.g. mental health). In addition, the Contractor will engage and participate in future local collaborative models of working such as neighbourhood teams as and when they arise. - Participate in the QOF and in the Delivery of Directed Enhanced Services (DES). The current list of Directed Enhanced Services is in Annex 1 of the service specification.
