Healthier and Happier Lives

April 5, 2024

We know that services are more successful when people using the services are involved as much as possible.

We are supporting the Wyre Rural Extended Network (WREN) Primary Care Network (PCN) to understand their patients’ experiences and how they can support their local community to live and lead healthy lives.

The Wyre Rural Extended Network PCN includes the following GP practices:

  • Garstang Medical Practice
  • Great Eccleston Health Centre
  • Over-Wyre Medical Centre
  • Kirkham Health Centre
  • Ash Tree House Surgery

A PCN is a group of GP practices who work in collaboration to drive improvements in local healthcare and work towards more integrated and personalised care.


During the month of April, we will be engaging with residents of the Wyre District including Garstang, Great Eccleston, Preesall and Kirkham through pop-up events, listening cafes and attendance at community groups.

If you are a patient at any of the above GP practices, we would love to hear from you. Make sure to have your voice heard by completing our online survey and tell us about what is needed in your area to help you live a healthy and happy life.

Are you currently facing any barriers which is preventing you from living a happy and healthy life? Do you know where to access advice, information and support? What do you think needs to be done in the area to improve people’s lives?
