Penderi Community Network

What are Community Networks? 

Community Networks provide a new way in which GP Practices and a range of health, social care and voluntary sector professionals will work more closely together.

• Focus on preventing ill health, enabling people to keep themselves well and independent for as long as possible.
• Develop the range and quality of services that are provided in the community.
• Ensure services provided by a wide range of health and social care professionals in the community are better co-ordinated to local needs.
• Improve communication and information sharing between different health, social care and voluntary sector professionals.
• Facilitate closer working between community based and hospital services, ensuring that patients receive a smooth and safe transition from hospital services to community based services and vice versa.
