Bromsgrove and District Primary Care Network was set up by 9 local practices to ensure that good standards of healthcare are available for our local community.

‍Within the Bromsgrove District we look after the needs of more than 77,000 residents and as a collective, we are able to focus on providing the best services for our patients.  This also enables our practices to be managed efficiently, effectively delivering the right service and best value from our budgets.

At the start of the Covid 19 pandemic we were able to quickly and effectively change our day to day working model to a Hub model, covering all areas of the District. We enabled our teams to be able to work remotely and digitally so we were still able to provide a good service to our patients via telephone, video call or visits to our local hubs.

As a Primary Care Network, we are developing a wider range of primary care services to our patients, this includes physiotherapy, social prescribing and extended access. We will be the footprint around which integrated community-based teams will develop, we also need to forward plan and take a proactive approach to our local population. This involves assessing the needs of our community and identify people would benefit from targeted and proactive support.

The PCN is currently working with a local provider to deliver a physiotherapy service across the district – more information to follow

This means all people have choice and control over how their care is planned and delivered. Social Prescribing can support a range of people including:

We expect to be able to offer this service from September 2020
