What is a PCN?

PCNs bring together a range of local organisations and groups), including GP practices, community services, social care and the voluntary sector to offer coordinated health and social care to their local populations.

What is the purpose of a PCN?

A key focus of the PCNs is helping residents to look after their own health. By intervening at an earlier stage and equipping them with the skills to manage their own health, there will be less likelihood of them needing treatment. The organisations within the PCNs will work together to create happier, healthier communities and reduce the gap in healthy life expectancy across Nottingham City.

Which PCN is my practice in?

There are eight PCNs across Nottingham City and each one is led by a Clinical Director. Your practice is part of the Newark PCN.
