About Us

Park & Orchard Primary Care Network (PCN) is a collaboration between Park Surgery and Orchard Surgery.

Following the publication of the new GP contract and as part of the NHS Long Term Plan from the 1st July 2019, all GP practices in England should be covered by a primary care network or ‘PCN’.

PCN’s are made up from groups of neighbouring general practices, who through funding are able to employ staff to deliver services across the member practices.

Park & Orchard PCN are a growing team of clinical and non-clinical staff, who are dedicated to improving healthcare access and increasing the services we can offer our patients.

These services range from vaccination programmes, Extended access, medication reviews with our Pharmacy team and tackling local inequalities through Community engagement on projects such as the Women’s Health & Menopause Café.

The idea being that PCNs help join services at a local level, focusing on the specific needs of the local population to improve the range and effectiveness of primary care services available.
