Who We Are

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

We are the Woodbury, Exmouth and Budleigh (WEB) Primary Care Network (PCN) a group of 5 East Devon GP practices working together to deliver integrated primary care services across our combined population of over 52,000 patients. 

Our 5 WEB practices have a long history of collaboration and support but the formal establishment of the WEB PCN came in April 2019 in response to the ‘Investment and Evolution: A five year framework for GP contract reform’ and delivery of the responsibilities of the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service Scheme (Network Contract DES).  As a PCN we believe in building strong relationships between our practices and with our local services and our population

Practices are now working more meaningfully together and we have established a range of services with the introduction of practice Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Paramedics a Frailty  Support team and a Mental Health & Wellbeing team. 

The PCN is supported by a small and enthusiastic management team who are passionate about providing services that benefit practices to manage their workload and free up the time needed to support complex patients and the population to receive regular and specialist care in their local neighbourhood to help foster a sense of community.

We have strong links with the patient participation groups (PPGs) and work with community boards to establish joined up services with other organisations such as our acute trust, mental health services, community services, voluntary sector and the local authority.
