What is Primary Care Network (PCN)?

Primary care networks (PCNs) are a great way to improve healthcare services in local communities. They bring together various healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, social prescribers, and other allied healthcare professionals, to work collaboratively and offer new and improved ways of organizing care. PCNs offer a proactive and integrated approach to healthcare, and they were set up as part of the NHS long-term plan.
