About us
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) form a key building block of the NHS long-term plan. Bringing general practices together to work at scale has been a policy priority for some years for a range of reasons, including improving the ability of practices to recruit and retain staff; to manage financial and estates pressures; to provide a wider range of services to patients and to more easily integrate with the wider health and care system.
Burmantofts, Harehills & Richmond Hill Primary Care Network (BHR PCN) is a large PCN with a patient list of circa 84,000 patients around the Harehills area. We have a significant workforce in place which brings wonderful opportunities for in-house multi-disciplinary team working. We have a well-developed multidisciplinary team including a Pharmacy Team, Care Homes, Social Prescribers (including Mental Health), Health & Wellbeing Coach, Population Health Management Team, Dietitian, First Contact Physiotherapists and a range of nursing / HCA staff and more which means that the majority of any patient's needs can now be provided on their own doorstep.
We have a strong ethos of training and development. As a well-established and mature PCN we have a strong culture of governance and clinical supervision. We have a Strategic Board with GP leadership, Management and Nurse representation. We actively seek opportunities for piloting new ways of working and regularly submit funding bids to test out new approaches to service delivery.
