About Us
What is a Primary Care Network?
A Primary Care Network (commonly abbreviated to PCN) is a healthcare network formed by a group of GP practices that collaborate with local health, social care, and voluntary services to deliver more coordinated and personalised care. PCNs are designed to be small enough to maintain the close relationships typical of general practice, but large enough to offer resilience, and support the development of integrated teams.
What are PCNs designed to do?
Primary Care Networks are aimed at delivering proactive, personalised, and coordinated care tailored to individual needs, with a strong emphasis on prevention and empowering patients to manage their own health. They connect people to both statutory and voluntary services and use data and technology to address population health challenges and reduce health inequalities.
Where is the Central Liverpool Primary Care Network located?
Our main site is the Central Liverpool Primary Care Network (CLPCN) Hub, located at 81 London Road, Liverpool L3 8JA. This is the administrative centre, and is also a base for many of our services. This location, along with the locations of our 6 member practices, can be seen via the their respective links on the home page of our website.
What are the priorities of the CLPCN?
When the CLPCN was formed in 2019 we wanted to ensure first and foremost that our patients voices were heard. With this in mind, we worked alongside our community, staff, and commissioners alike to understand what the key local health challenges were, and importantly, where we could make the most impact. In response we identified three priority areas: Alcohol & Addiction Support, Mental Health Support, and Supporting Families and Children.
What are the aims of the CLPCN?
Our shared care statement lays out our aims as follows:
Central Liverpool Primary Care Network aims to positively influence the health and wellbeing of the population of Central Liverpool and proactively address health inequalities. This is done by building collaborative partnerships with colleagues in health and social care sectors — the PCN continuously works to ensure the long-term sustainability of the network general practices and primary care services which is crucial to the wellbeing of the community.
