Benefits for patients
A PCN Is a group of GP Practice who have decided to work together to provide and improve healthcare services in a local area. PCN’s form a key building block of the NHS Long-term plan. We aim to link staff from general practice, community services, social care and voluntary organisations to deliver a joined up care.
PCNs have the potential to benefit patients by offering improved access and extending the range of services available to them, and by helping to integrate primary care with wider health and community services. The networks will provide the structure and funding for services to be developed locally, in response to the needs of you, the patient.
