Your Primary Care Network
What do PCNs do?
PCNs build on current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care.
What are the benefits of having a PCN?
Clinicians say that a PCN enables the change from reactively providing appointments to proactively providing care for the people and communities they serve.
The Three Main PCN Principles
Proportionate Universalism: Improving the health of those with the greatest need, fastest.
Integrating Care: Acting as a bridge between primary care, community services and individuals, to bring healthcare into the community.
Supporting Primary Care: Reducing pressures on primary care by increasing capacity, supporting with clinical targets and providing holistic, preventative healthcare.

Community Groups
Here at the PCN we really do believe in the Five Ways to Wellbeing– Connect to Others; Stay Physically Active; Keep Learning; Help Others; Be Present.
We are starting up a whole programme of activities to help you find your way to feeling better, mentally and physically. All of the activities are FREE and DROP-IN, run by expert tutors and teachers, and take place at locations across the city. Not only that, but once there you can chat to our PCN Staff – NHS health professionals and practitioners, from physiotherapists to pharmacists, mental health advisors to occupational therapists.
If our team of specialists can’t help, we can signpost to someone who can.
