South East Shropshire
Primary Care Network
We are working together to provide extended services.
About us
Delivering world class healthcare
The new GP contract was published in early 2019 as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. A key element of the new contract is the development of Primary Care Networks (PCNs) which bring GP practices together with other local services – such as community, mental health, social care and the voluntary sector to look after local populations.
PCNs help to join up services at a local level, focusing on the specific needs of these local populations, with patients still accessing routine GP appointments as they do now.
9 of the GP practices within our area have joined together to form the South East Shropshire PCN.
They are:
- Albrighton Medical Practice
- Alveley Medical Practice
- Bridgnorth Medical Practice
- Broseley Medical Practice
- Brown Clee Medical Centre
- Cleobury Mortimer Surgery
- Highley Medical Centre
- Ironbridge Medical Practice
- Much Wenlock & Cressage Medical Practice
Our surgery teams are working closely with each other, enjoying the ability to share expertise and resources, to develop new services. Our vision is to continue to improve the quality of care that we provide in alignment with the need of our patient population.
We care for the whole person
What are Primary Care Networks?
Vision
PCNs build on current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively providing care for the people and communities they serve. Where emerging PCNs are in place in parts of the country, there are clear benefits for patients and clinicians. PCNs usually have a 30-50k population and are geographically contiguous (next to or touching another). All GP practices in our area are expected to sign up to be a member of a PCN. You can read the NHS England PCN FAQs here.

All of the personnel I came in contact with, went above and beyond to help me with my medical problems. I am now enjoying a more active lifestyle and no longer feel the discomfort in chest.
