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).
Mossley Medical Practice works collaboratively within the Stalybridge, Dukinfield and Mossley PCN. You may be treated and cared for by PCN staff either at the practice or at central locations in Stalybridge, Dukinfield and Mossley. All of the staff work closely with our GPs and staff at Mossley 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://stalybridgepcn.nhs.uk or www.facebook.com/StalybridgePCN/

You know your body best so speak to your doctor if something doesn’t seem right.
National screening programmes can help diagnose cancers at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Cancer screening is for those without symptoms, so if you’ve noticed a change, please don’t wait for screening – tell your doctor as soon as possible.
Whatever cancer throws your way, Macmillan is right there with you.
