Working Together to Provide Better Care: Our Primary Care Network (PCN)
Wibsey & Queensbury Medical Practice is proud to be part of a local network of five GP practices working closely together to improve care for our communities. This group includes:
The Ridge Medical Practice
Horton Bank Top Surgery
Horton Park Medical Practice
Parklands Medical Practice
Wibsey & Queensbury Medical Practice
Together, we form what is known as a Primary Care Network (PCN) — a collaboration formally supported by NHS England.
Why Are We Working Together?
By sharing some services and resources across our practices, we can:
Provide more consistent care
Offer wider access to specialist roles
Increase efficiency without losing our individual practice identities
Our goal is to deliver services jointly where it makes sense, while continuing to offer the personalised care you expect from your own GP practice.
What Are We Doing Together?
Over the past four years, our network has steadily grown and expanded the range of services we deliver together. Here are just some examples:
🩺 Joint Flu & COVID Booster Campaigns
We deliver annual flu and COVID booster vaccinations as a single, coordinated campaign across all five practices.
🧑⚕️ Social Prescribers
We employ a team of five Social Prescribers who offer vital support by helping patients with non-medical needs, such as loneliness, housing, or financial concerns.
💪 First Contact Physiotherapists
In partnership with local hospital trusts, we have a team of four physiotherapists who support patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) issues — often without needing a GP referral.
💊 Network Pharmacists
Our pharmacist team works across practices to support medication management, including:
🚑 Paramedics in Training
We’re also integrating paramedics into our network practices in collaboration with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) — providing an additional line of clinical support to our teams.
What Does This Mean for You?
By working together, we can offer more services, faster access, and more specialised care — while still being part of the same trusted GP practice you know.
We’re excited to continue developing this partnership and bringing even more benefits to our patients.
