Birchwood is part of a local Primary Care Network (PCN) along with our neighbouring practices – Aldborough, Cromer, Mundesley and Paston. PCNs were introduced in July 2019 with the aim of developing closer links between general practice (your GP surgery), community services and secondary care (hospitals). At present they are in the very early stages of their development.
