ABOUT US

Green Vale Health Primary Care Network is a PCN in Central Bedfordshire. Our mission is to improve health and care and to meet everyday health and care needs for people by connecting primary care systems and using creative thinking to develop, improve and support great local services.
Our PCN is split over three sites, Flitwick Surgery, Marston Forest Healthcare (and Cranfield Surgery which is a branch surgery of Marston Forest Healthcare) in modern facilities. We have a combined list size of approx. 25000 patients with some 243 care home beds. We are not one of the larger PCN’s, but this smaller patient number allows us to provide first class healthcare and the ability to target diverse healthcare needs.
The sites are only a short distance apart (5 miles) but service the main population areas of Flitwick, Marston Moretaine and Cranfield as well as several surrounding villages in a rural setting, with Bedford, Milton Keynes and Luton only a few miles away.
Both practices within the PCN are training practices so we have the experience and knowledge to fully support a newly qualified GP with the necessary supervision and ongoing training needs.
