What is a Primary Care Network?

Primary Care Networks were introduced in 2019 as part of the NHS Long Term plan.  As the population grows and people live longer, often with more complex needs,  GP services have had to adapt to these changing needs.

GP practices are working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks.

Take a look at this short animation from NHS England which explains how they work.

Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS)

Primary Care Networks have been given funding to provide additional roles to create bespoke multi-disciplinary teams within their individual network. 

PCN’s assess the needs of their local population and, working with local community services, make support available to people where it is most needed.
