What is a Primary Care Network?

Primary Care Networks were introduced in 2019 as part of the NHS Long Term plan.  

As the population grows and people live longer, often with more complex needs, GP services have had to adapt to these changing needs.

GP practices are working together services in local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks.

Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS)

Primary Care Networks provide additional roles to create multi-disciplinary teams.

They assess the needs of local populations and make support available to people where it is most needed.
