Working together for Tiverton

What is a Primary Care Network?

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are organisations consisting of neighbouring GP practices, working closely with other community healthcare providers to improve the health and wellbeing of patients. Based on GP practice lists and generally serving populations of 30,000-50,000, PCNs are small enough to provide the personal care valued by both patients and practice staff but large enough to have economies of scale through better collaboration between practices and others in the local health and social care system.
