Primary care networks (PCNs) consist of general practices working together with a range of local providers. These include services in primary care, social care, and the voluntary and community sector. The aim is to offer more personalised and coordinated health and social care to their local populations.
Each PCN is set up – with between 30,000 and 50,000 patients – to provide care to match the range of needs across the population. This includes flexible access to advice and support for ‘healthier’ sections of the population and joined-up care for those with complex conditions.
