What is a Primary Care Network?

A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a network of health professionals. They work together with our doctors and nurses to provide care to patients.

Our PCN is led by:

  • A 'Clinical Director' who is a GP

        and

  • An Operations Manager 

Why Do We Need a Primary Care Network?

Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer. Many people are living with long term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma. Some suffer with mental health issues. So, people may need to access their local health services more often.
 
To meet these needs, GP practices are now working together with other services and teams. Such as:
  • Mental health
  • Social care
  • Pharmacy
  • Hospital and Community Services

  Physician Associate   Clinical Pharmacist   Health and Well-being Coach   Social Prescriber
