The number of people living in Salford and across the country is growing. As a result, we are living longer, and many of us are living with long-term health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. In January 2019, NHS England asked all GP practices across the UK to form a local Primary Care Network (PCN) with neighbouring surgeries.
Salford South East Primary Care Network is one of the five PCNs in Salford and includes 10 member GP practices with a population of 84,000 patients. Salford South East PCN supports and develops the work of current primary care services. For example, our GP practices have greater flexibility and control to provide more proactive, personalised and integrated health and social care at the right time and place.
Our ten-member practices include:
- Cornerstone Medical Practice
- The Willows Medical Centre
- Pendleton Medical Centre
- Salford Medical Centre – Including The Quays Practice
- Orient Road Medical Practice
- Sorrel Bank (Bolton Rd Surgery) Medical Practice – Including Victoria Road Surgery
- Clarendon Medical Practice – Including Angel Medical Practice
- Ordsall Health Surgery
- Langworthy Medical Practice – Including University of Salford Health Centre
- The Height General Practice
