To allow a central repository of such requests, and to ensure the request is appropriate for PCN engagment - please contact the Somerset Local Medical Committee (LMC) in the first instance who will then distribute information where suitable |
Patient FlyerThe PCN has produced a flyer which will be printed at each f the PCN surgeries. For ease of access, this is also available in electronic format here
