About Us

Malling Primary Care Network is a group of 5 GP practices who work together with other health and social care providers.

Malling Primary Care Network was formed in July 2019 although our practices had been collaborating as a "Cluster" for a couple of years already.

What is a Primary Care Network?

A Primary Care Network is a group of GP practices who work together with community, mental health, social care, and voluntary services in the local area, to provide comprehensive primary care services  to a defined population.

PCNs build on existing primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, and coordinated health and social care for people close to home.

Over 99% of general practices are part of a PCN who sign up to the Network Contract DES which details our core requirements and entitlements.

What benefits do Primary Care Networks have for patients?

  • They offer a larger range of care services that well be close to patients' homes, as well as improved access
  • PCNs work with a wider range of health and community services
  • Patients will be able to receive support for a more complicated conditions, and will have access to the health and care services that can support them
  • Patients will be able to have more of a role in making decisions around their own health and the care they receive

Watch a short video that explains the concept of PCNs and how this new way of working enables health services to work together to provide better patient access.
