Horsham Central Primary Care Network (PCN) is a collaboration between Park Surgery, Orchard Surgery, Holbrook Surgery, and Riverside Medical Practice.

From 1 July 2019, all patients in England should be covered by a primary care network (PCN). PCNs are made up from groups of neighbouring general practices. New funding is being channelled through the networks to employ staff to deliver services to patients across the member practices. PCNs are not new legal bodies, but their formation requires existing providers of general practice to work together and to share funds on a scale not previously seen in UK general practice. The hope of national NHS leaders is that PCNs will improve the range and effectiveness of primary care services and boost the status of general practice within the wider NHS (Health.org).

At Horsham Central, we are a growing team of clinical and non-clinical staff, who are innovating and striving for better healthcare access whilst improving and increasing the services we can offer our patients. This ranges from vaccination services to medication reviews with our pharmacy team, to tackling local inequalities that create barriers within primary care.
