Did you know in today’s modern GP Practice there is a team of people working in a number of different roles alongside your doctor. They are trained to see and treat patients for a variety of conditions, which means you don’t always have to see a doctor. It also means you can get the right care from the right healthcare professional as quickly as possible.
The PCN Board is made up of clinicians and practice managers from the two GP practices. With strong local knowledge and experience, they help shape services that truly meet the needs of our patients and communities.

Emergency Care Practitioners (or ECPs) are qualified Paramedics with additional training and skills. They work closely with primary care teams to triage and assess patients, give treatment, and prescribe medication.
Emergency Care Practitioners provide an important healthcare service to elderly, vulnerable or disabled people. They are often called out to care homes to give urgent care to patients who can’t easily access GP surgeries or ambulance services.
The day-to-day duties of an ECP include: performing health checks and medical assessments in a general practice surgery, care homes or in patients’ own homes, completing and reviewing ECGs, taking pathological specimens, undertaking minor procedures, treating minor injuries, and prescribing medications or creating home care packets for patients.
Emergency Care Practitioners are an essential part of the healthcare service system. They relieve pressure from the ambulance service who needs to focus on life-threatening emergencies. They also complete pre-hospital assessments and provide care to patients who would otherwise need to be treated in overcrowded hospital settings.
The Care Home Team works with the GP Practices to support residents in local care homes.
We’re using technology to help health and care professionals communicate better and to enable people to access the care they need quickly and easily, whenever it suits them.
From websites and apps that make care and advice easy to access wherever you are, to connected computer systems that give staff the test results, history, and evidence they need to make the best decisions for patients, we’re working smarter to provide better care than ever before.
The 10 Year Health Plan for England was published on 3 July 2025. The plan is part of the government’s health mission to build a health service fit for the future. It sets out our ambitions for improvement over the next decade, following the five-year funding settlement announced by the government in July 2018.
The plan underpins the importance of technology in the future NHS, setting out the critical priorities that will support digital transformation and deliver a step change in the way the NHS cares for citizens.
Following the merger of NHS Digital and NHS England on 1 February 2023, NHS England is responsible for designing and operating national data infrastructure and digital systems.
People, data, and technology are crucial to the ongoing evolution of our NHS.
By working together in these key areas, we will support and enable local systems to:
