A PCN is an NHS primary care organisation usually formed of a number of GP practices working together to provide the primary healthcare for a large population.

The PCN is in contract with the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). It has a Clinical Director and a Board who work on behalf of the PCN to develop services. As a single PCN we are able to work alongside other NHS and Social care providers to influence improvements in design and delivery of services to our population.

Our PCN has been created with the merger of River Lodge Surgery, School Hill Medical Practice, St Andrew’s Surgery and the Ringmer based, Anchor Field Surgery. Who are now known collectively as ‘Foundry Healthcare Lewes.’

Lewes District Council are in the final stages of selecting a contractor to build the new building and detailed plans have been finalised.

The CCG and NHS England are fully in support of the plans. Upon completion, we will move out of our existing Lewes sites, but will retain and continue to use the Anchor Field site in Ringmer. There will be better parking, with proposals to make this free of charge for sufficient time for you to complete your appointment. There also alternative transport links, with local bus services and community transport available to book through the CTLA.
