Our partnership with Meridian PCN
People can access a range of Health and Wellbeing services at Melbourn Hub. This initiative is a Melbourn Hub collaboration with NHS Meridian Primary Care Network (PCN), the ‘NHS vaccinators on tour’, plus other health and wellbeing service providers and is the first of its kind in South Cambridgeshire. The idea is to bring some services out of GP surgeries and into a community setting and to provide access locally to other key health services such as vaccinations and mental health support.
‘Health at The Hub’ began in May 2022 when The Hub hosted the first of several Covid-19 vaccination walk in clinics by the ‘vaccinators on tour’. The partnership with Meridian PCN was launched at a public event at Melbourn Hub in June 2022 and attended by a range of health and wellbeing providers, the public and key people supporting the initiative. You can find out more about the PCN here.
