PCN's
(Primary Care Networks)
Welcome to Gateshead & South Tyneside LPC’s Primary Care Network (PCNs) page
On this page you will see a list of PCNs within Gateshead and South Tyneside CCGS.
Please check the list and see which PCN that your pharmacy has been allocated to. You may notice that your pharmacy appears in multiple lists, this is because the list has been created using prescriptions numbers dispensed from the PCNs and some pharmacies get prescriptions from multiple PCNs - particularly those that lie on the border between PCNs or CCGs.
