What is a PCN?
A PCN (Primary Care Network) is a group of GP surgeries working closely together, aligned to other health and social care staff and organisations, providing integrated services to their local population. You have been sent this survey invitation because your surgery belongs to either the Arno or North Coast Alliance PCN. The surgeries across these two PCNs are:
- Blackheath Medical Centre
- Cavendish Medical Centre
- Church Road Medical Practice
- Egremont Medical Centre
- Gladstone Medical Centre
- Grove Road Surgery
- Heatherlands Medical Centre
- Holmlands Medical Centre
- Kings Lane Medical Practice
- Leasowe Medical Practice
- Miriam Primary Care Group
- Prenton Medical Centre (inc. Woodchurch Medical Centre)
- St George’s Medical Centre
- St Hilary Group Practice
- Teehey Lane Surgery
- Vittoria Medical Centre (Dr Karyampudi and Partners)
- Vittoria Medical Centre (Dr Majeed and Partners)
How long will this survey run for?
We are aiming for a minimum of 100 responses per surgery to ensure we get a good enough selection. The survey closed on Friday 22 March 2024.
How will you be advertising this to patients?
Patients will be selected at random and may receive a text message from the surgery with an invitation. We will also be publishing the link on your surgery website.
Are all submitted results going to be counted?
Yes. We ask that you only submit one survey per patient. The results will be stored independently from each surgery. There are measures in place to ensure duplicate entries are not counted and the forms are protected against internet bots.
Will you publish the results once they have been collected?
Yes, we will publish our findings once all of the data analysis has been completed.
