Introducing our new
Primary Care Network
Healthier Neighbourhoods PCN
For the communities we serve on the Wirral:
Birkenhead, Beechwood, Noctorum, Prenton and Woodchurch
Healthier Neighbourhoods PCN is a new Primary Care Network; a collective of 3 GP practices working together across 6 locations for the benefit of the communities and patients we serve.
Our practices include Paxton Medical Group (including Claughton, Townfield, and Fender Way surgeries), Heatherlands Medical Centre, and Prenton & Woodchurch Medical Centre.
The patient benefits to being part of our PCN include:
- Services will be delivered in our patients’ local surgeries rather than elsewhere on the Wirral.
- Our patients will be able to access enhanced services such as first contact physiotherapy, health coaching, and social prescribers closer to home.
- Patients will benefit from additional GP appointments, including evenings and weekends.
Our vision as a PCN is to address health inequalities within our communities, improving the health and lives of over 30,000 patients.
The NHS App
Healthier Neighbourhoods PCN would like to invite you to use The NHS App
Owned and run by the NHS, the NHS App is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.
