Watch this short animation that explains the concept of PCNs and how this new way of working enables health and other services to work together to provide better access for patients.
Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer. Many people are living with long term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease or suffer with mental health issues and may need to access their local health services more often. In order to meet these needs, practices are working together with communities, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in groups of practices known as primary care networks (PCNs).
