Primary Care  Network

 MMWF PCN

A Primary Care Network (PCN) consists of groups of general practices working together with a range of local providers, including across primary care, community services, social care and the voluntary sector, to enable greater provision of proactive personalised, coordinated health and social care to their local populations. They build on existing primary care services to better meet the needs of local people closer to home by enabling more proactive, personalised, coordinated and integrated health and and care services. Through the MMWF PCN we offer our Extended Access service which is appointments out of normal working hours. 

We at MMWF strive to help our member GP practices to better serve the community of 52995 patients.
