Over the last number of years, we have been working to realise our vision for Primary care services, whereby the health of the population is managed, as far as possible, within a primary care setting, with population very rarely requiring admission to a hospital, those with additional or complex needs having care plans developed with their local Primary Care Team (PCT) who co-ordinate all care required with specialist services in the community and, for hospital attendance, through integrated care pathways.

The PCT is the centre point for service delivery, which actively engages to address the medical and social needs of the community.
