Posted by: ethan - Posted on:

What is a Primary Care Network?

PCNs are essentially GP practices joining together to work locally with community service providers and other health and care organisations.

When is the service available?

The service operates Monday to Sunday during the day. It covers the whole of Leeds. 

Anyone registered at a Leeds-based practice can book into the ‘Extended Access’ service via your practice.
