• Medina Healthcare, Wootton Bridge
The Clinical Director for the North East Primary Care Network is Dr Daniel O’Neill.
The network is well resourced both in terms of GPs and a wide range of different practitioners operating within and across the practices including advanced nurse practitioners and shared roles like paramedics, providing a patient visiting service, and clinical pharmacists.
Together the practices within the network have embraced innovation, working on a number of initiatives to improve patient care including setting up the first primary care mental health practitioner model on the Island.
