How does Class PCN work?

The patient first consults a Class PCN GP for his or her chronic condition(s). The Class PCN GP assesses, diagnoses the patient’s condition and decides if patient needs to be referred to see a nurse counsellor for relevant ancillary services, i.e., diabetic foot screening, diabetic eye screening, where required.

The Class PCN care coordinator works with a Clinic Assistant to schedule the patient for the ancillary service(s) appointment. Upon completion of the ancillary service(s), the doctor reviews the results from the ancillary service(s) and follows up with the patient.

Our aim is to help patients better manage their chronic conditions and improve their health outcomes.

How does Class PCN benefit me as a patient with Chronic Condition(s)?

Your chronic conditions will be more closely monitored by the Class PCN GP, in the event there is a need for earlier intervention. You will also have access to nurse counsellors for personalized advice on managing your chronic condition(s), including lifestyle and dietary modifications.

Are these ancillary services chargeable?
