How to Make the Most of Year-End NHS Funding - Without Adding More Pressure

The clock is ticking - and so is your budget. 

Every year, GP practices and PCNs face the same challenge: deciding how to spend unallocated funding before the financial year ends. 

With 2025/26 guidance putting greater emphasis on improving access, reducing workload and delivering the Modern General Practice model, there’s an opportunity to invest in digital solutions that ease pressure and create long-term value. 

But with so many options, what makes sense now?

Don’t just spend it - invest it. 

This isn’t about panic-buying kit. It’s about making smart, strategic choices that: 

• Improve patient experience 

• Reduce clinical workload 

• Capture QOF income 

• Strengthen your PCN long-term 

  
  

Digital tools like EK Interactive’s self-service health station offer immediate and ongoing benefits, turning year-end budget into lasting impact.
