Making a Difference
Welcome to the website of Venn Primary Care Network (PCN).
Our family of local GP practices are working together to transform health services in the Hull area.
Whilst aiming to improve all aspects of health provision, we have identified some clear local priorities that will receive our special attention. PCNs were formed to provide support to groups of GP practices working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in a local area.
We build on existing primary care services to enable greater provision of proactive personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care for people living close to home.

Spirometry is a simple, non-invasive procedure and common diagnostic test used to assess lung function and detect various respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. It does so by measuring the volume and flow of air that a person can inhale and exhale. During a spirometry test, a patient breathes into a device called a spirometer, which measures the volume and flow of air expelled from the lungs.
>> SpirometryExtended Access is an extension of your GP practice and offers routine and same day appointments with a range of clinicians including GPs, Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition where a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries restricts blood supply to the leg muscles. Many people with PAD have no symptoms but some develop a painful ache in their legs when they walk, which usually disappears after a few minutes' rest. An ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) test is a painless test which compares the blood flow in your ankle with the blood flow in your arm. Contact your Practice to arrange an ABPI test.
>> ABPI testingAll Venn GP Practices operate convenient ONLINE SERVICES which can be access via the practice's own website. Requests for administrative support, prescription requests and links to non-urgent medical advice portals can be accessed 24/7. Requests for clinical service by the medical staff at the surgery are available during operating hours via Systmconnect. Non-urgent medical advice - including dental support - can be obtained 24/7 through the NHS 111 service. For medical emergencies, dial 999

Families in Hull are missing out on thousands of pounds of financial support to help buy them healthy food. The Healthy Start voucher scheme was introduced to help people buy fruit and vegetables, milk and claim free vitamins from 10 weeks into pregnancy or until their child was four.
However, between £250,000 and £350,000 is going unclaimed every year in Hull alone because people don't realise they're entitles to support.
