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).
Guide Bridge Medical Practice works collaboratively within the Denton, Audenshaw and Droylsden PCN. You may be treated and cared for by PCN staff either at the practice or at central locations in Denton, Audenshaw and Droylsden. All of the staff work closely with our GPs and staff at Guide Bridge Medical 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 https://dadpcn.org.uk/our-primary-care-network or https://www.facebook.com/groups/dentonpcn.
