Primary Care Networks (PCNs) form a key building block of the NHS long-term plan. Bringing general practices together to work at scale has been a policy priority for some years for a range of reasons, including improving the ability of practices to recruit and retain staff; to manage financial and estates pressures; to provide a wider range of services to patients and to more easily integrate with the wider health and care system.
West Leeds Primary Care Network (WLPCN Ltd) is a large PCN with a patient list of circa 70,000 patients around the Pudsey / Bramley area. We have a significant workforce in place which brings wonderful opportunities for in-house multi-disciplinary team working. We have a well-developed multidisciplinary team including a Pharmacy Team, Occupational Therapists, Social Prescribers, Paramedics, Dietitians, a range of nursing / HCA staff and more, which means that the majority of any patient's needs can now be provided on their own doorstep.
