GP practices work together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
Ashton GP Practice works collaboratively within the Ashton PCN. You may be treated and cared for by PCN staff either at the practice or at central locations in Ashton. All of the staff work closely with our GPs and staff at Ashton GP Practice.
PCNs build on existing primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, co-ordinated and more integrated health and social care for people close to home.
To find out more about the PCN, please visit www.facebook.com/ashtonhealtcareteam/
