PICS provides 35 services within the community, available from General Practice surgeries and care homes, and via community clinics and home visits. Our staff work across the county and city of Nottingham for a population size of over one million people.

We work closely with voluntary organisations, community groups, social services, district nursing, GPs, Pharmacists, hospital consultants, and mental health providers to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals. 

You might not notice our staff are from a different organisation. Feedback from patients, carers, families and community members and our partners in healthcare is invited, recorded, and monitored in line with NHS standards. 

We provide professional services for 11 Primary Care Networks, covering 69 General Practice surgeries who care for 600,000 Nottinghamshire residents.
