Primary Care Network Support

We currently support 6 PCNs in Bolton.

The networks provide the structure and funding for services to be developed locally, in response to the needs of the patients they serve.

Primary Care Networks are geographical groups of GP practices, community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services working together to focus on local patient care.

They are small enough to provide the personal care valued by both patients and GPs, but large enough to have impact and economies of scale through better collaboration between practices and others in the local health and social care system.
