The National CLEAR Programme supported the development of anticipatory care approaches across Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Anticipatory care is designed to support those patients who are at high risk of unwarranted health outcomes to live well and independently for longer, through structured proactive care. This supports the prevention of ill health in line with the NHS Long Term Plan, with the ambition that people will be able to enjoy at least five extra healthy, independent years of life by 2035.

The five PCNs that took part came up with recommendations to deliver proactive personalised care in the community to patients with complex needs. This work was commissioned by NHS England as part of a shared learning exercise on anticipatory care across England.
