Shared care guidelines
Below you can find all of the shared care guidelines approved for use across the North East and North Cumbria ICS.
For legacy shared care guidelines, you may still need to visit the previous APC websites until a single NENC ICB version is available.
NTAG workplan includes the review of shared care clinical protocols across NENC ICS. Due to historical arrangements shared care clinical protocols differ geographically. Following review by NTAG, these new ICS wide approved clinical protocols are now being published to ensure clinical information is correct and up to date. NTAG is aware that there is an ongoing LIS/LES review (Local Incentive Scheme and Local Enhanced Service) within the ICB that is reviewing the remuneration to GP practices for undertaking shared care across the ICS.
