"Four GP practices in Gateshead working together to deliver specialist NHS primary care services."
Gateshead Inner West Primary Care Network brings together four GP practices serving around 45,000 patients across inner west Gateshead. The network expands access beyond traditional appointments through clinical pharmacists, physiotherapists, mental health practitioners, and social prescribing link workers who help patients manage long term conditions. By pooling resources, the network delivers enhanced services such as frailty care for vulnerable people at home, medication reviews, strength and balance programmes, and extended appointments. Patients receive more timely, coordinated care without always seeing a GP, while practices work together to reduce health inequalities across the community.
