Aplos Health PCN is a primary care network providing NHS services and working collaboratively with our four member practices; Sydenham Green Group Practice, Vale Medical Centre, Woolstone Medical Centre and Wells Park Practice.
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan, with general practices being a part of a network, typically covering 30,000-50,000 patients.
In line with national guidance, PCNs are much more than clusters of general practice. It is about groups of practices coming together locally in partnership with community services, social care and other providers of health and care services around the needs of local patients.
Aplos Health PCN are committed to working in partnership with the community we serve, to transform primary care in a sustainable way that has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of the local population.
As part of a PCN, GPs will be able to recruit multi-disciplinary teams, including pharmacists, physiotherapists, paramedics, physician associates and social prescribing support workers, freeing up family doctors to focus on the other patients.
