Collaborating for Better Patient Care
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are at the heart of modern healthcare, bringing together GP practices to work more closely with community services, hospitals, social care, and voluntary organisations. By collaborating, PCNs help improve patient access, enhance healthcare services, and support the wellbeing of communities across Lincolnshire.
What is a Primary Care Network?
A PCN is a group of GP practices working together, along with other healthcare providers, to deliver more coordinated and proactive care for their local population. PCNs enable practices to share resources, expertise, and workforce, ensuring patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place.
How PCNs Benefit Patients & Healthcare Teams
✅ Better Access to Services – Patients can receive care from a wider team of professionals, including pharmacists, physiotherapists, social prescribers, and mental health workers.
✅ Stronger Support for Practices – By working together, practices can manage demand more effectively and share best practices.
✅ Improved Health Outcomes – PCNs focus on preventative care and long-term condition management to keep communities healthier.
✅ Greater Collaboration – Stronger partnerships between primary care, social care, and community services create a more integrated healthcare system.
