Alongside recruiting to internal roles West Kent Primary Care also provides workforce support to 5 Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across West Kent offering recruitment, staff development and line management support for PCN clinical and non-clinical staff.

We are continuing to grow and support PCNs whilst the Direct Enhanced Services is rolled out where we expect to recruit additional clinical staff in the future.
