About us
PCNs were introduced into the NHS in 2019. Essentially, it is a group of GP practices working together. They share resources and specialist staff, meaning each practice and their patients benefit from additional services that individual practices couldn't provide independently.
About Our Network:
North Gosforth Primary Care Network is made up of 5 neighbouring GP practices: Broadway Medical Centre, Brunton Park Health Centre, Gosforth Memorial, Park Medical Centre, Regent Medical Centre
North Gosforth PCN works collaboratively with Jesmond Lower Gosforth PCN, meaning that specialists from each network work together, sharing best practices and raising standards, and teams can collectively provide the best holistic care for patients.
