Is there any risk involved in joining the Middlesex London Primary Care Network?

No Risk: Participation in the MLPCN is entirely voluntary, and you may opt out at any time if you choose to do so. The MLPCN will always advocate on behalf of all primary care providers in our community to the best of its ability. Participation will improve the input we have to do so.  

What are the benefits of confirming my membership with the MLPCN? 
  • Accurate Information: To be effective in representing the primary care sector, we need to know our membership. Confirming your membership enables us to understand who and where our PCN members are. This enables us to represent your needs, to inform you about opportunities to add your voice, to hear your opinion on issues, and to share opportunities for you to get involved. 
  • Resource Sharing: Confirming your membership allows us to share valuable resources with you, including discount codes for MLPCN Members. 
As an MLPCN member, will I be expected to take on more patients?

No. There is no expectation that providers will take on more patients as a result of participation. If you can increase efficiency based on any support you receive, you may choose to take on a few more patients as a result, but this is not expected or required.
