Primary Care Networks and West London GP Federation

All GP practices in England are now formed into Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

 

What is a primary care network (PCN)?

  • A PCN is a group of GP practices based in a local community.
  • Typically it is between 5 to 10 GP practices covering a patient population of 30,000 to 50,000.
  • You WILL STILL be registered with your GP practice and will continue to access GP services in the usual way.
 

What will change for you?

  • Partnership working enables patients to access additional health services provided within the PCN GP practices.
  • You may not notice much change to begin with, but over time you will see a wider range of services becoming available in your GP practice or at another practice within your PCN.
 

Which PCN are we in?

West London has 5 PCNs.

Garway Medical Practice belongs to West Hill Health PCN.

How can you help to develop your PCN?

A PCN can be a great opportunity to improve quality and access to health services for your local community.
