Primary Care Networks are groups of neighbouring GP practices working together to provide primary and community services to a wider population than a single practice in order to improve outcomes for their local patients.
Q
What size is a Primary Care Network?
A
Typically, a Primary Care Network will be formed of natural communities based on GP registered lists up to a population size of between 30,000 and 50,000. They are small enough to deliver personalised care while large enough to have a wider impact between practices, community services and social care.
