About us

NED PCN is an organisational group of four proactive GP practices in North East Derbyshire. The Practices are Barlborough Medical Practice, Killamarsh Medical Practice, The Springs Medical Partnership and The Valleys Medical Partnership.
NED PCN is a relatively small PCN with just over 40,000 patients. We feel that this makes us big enough to develop a successful team but small enough to be an approachable, friendly place to be.
The NHS Long Term Plan describes the prominent role Primary Care Networks play in delivering proactive, personalised and more integrated health and social care for their local populations. This will require collaborative working between organisations including GP practices, acute and community health, social care organisations and the voluntary and community sector.
Core practices opening hours of 8:00am 6:30pm Monday to Friday each week.
