Our dedicated area leads in mental health, health inequalities, nursing, and education drive our initiatives and projects, ensuring that our PCN and associated practices deliver the highest quality care to our patients.
A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a group of practices who work together to focus on local patient care. They’ve been around since 2019 and 99 per cent of practices across England now work as part of one.
With increased demand and a shortage of clinical staff, practices find they can provide greater, more personalised care for patients when they can work together on certain services or issues.
Take a look at this short animation from NHS England which explains how they work.
