This document provides guidance on the role of the clinical lead for the Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) service set out in the network contract DES. A PCN must deliver the EHCH service to the care homes it is aligned to. The network contract DES also states that a lead clinician must be identified for each of the PCN’s aligned homes. This is the clinical lead.
