Primary Care Network
The Kendal Primary Care Network is about the 3 GP practices in Kendal working together, and with our communities, for the good of the whole population of Kendal.
The NHS 5 Year Plan identifies Primary Care Networks (PCNs) as the mechanism through which Primary Care will be invested in over the coming years.
In Kendal, we have already been able to improve the support we give to patients by employing 2 Social Prescribers and a First Contact Physiotherapist – who work with patients in each of our 3 practices.
In 2021, we expect to be increasing this support by employing 3 Clinical Pharmacists to improve medication management, and a Primary Care Paramedic to improve the care that is offered to our housebound patients.
