TyneHealth was founded in 2006 and became the North Tyneside GP Federation in 2014, representing all of the practices in North Tyneside.

Together with our GP members, we deliver improved health care in the community to over 215,000 residents, by bringing care closer to patients’ homes.

We work in partnership with commissioners, local hospitals, the third sector and our patients to provide community based, medically-led services.

The North Tyneside borough is split into four Primary Care Networks (PCN) – groups of GP practices working together for their local communities – as indicated on the map.

COVID-19 has been the single greatest public health emergency in the history of the NHS. We’ve created an information hub where you can find details on what TyneHealth is doing in regards to the pandemic, including:

• Read our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the COVID-19 Vaccine
• Details on the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme – including local vaccination services and national booking methods.
• What to do if you have COVID-19 symptoms and how to get a test
• More information about asymptomatic lateral flow testing available in North Tyneside.
