What is a Primary Care Network (PCN)?
A Primary Care Network is a network that works across multiple GP Practices to provide support to patients and engage with the community.
PCNs aim to improve health services, with each PCN providing different methods of support to practices, tailored to the needs of the surgeries and demographic of the area.
From assisting with booking GP appointments, employing a range of healthcare professionals, to running community events, a PCN aims to deliver enhanced services that one practice may not be able to achieve on their own.
This form of collaboration means that a more personalised approach can be taken to healthcare

What are Primary Care Networks designed to do?
Primary Care Networks are designed to provide proactive, coordinated care to their local populations, in different ways to match different people’s needs, with a strong focus on prevention and personalised care. This means supporting patients to make informed decisions about their own health and care and connecting them to a wide range of statutory and voluntary services to ensure they can access the care they need first time. Networks should also have a greater focus on population health and addressing health inequalities in their local area, using data and technology to inform the delivery of population scale care models.
