About us

COCO PCN is a collaborative partnership between three GP practices in West Surrey & Sussex: Chertsey Health Centre, Ottershaw Surgery and Crouch Oak Family Practice. We are a forward-thinking, community-focused PCN committed to delivering joined-up, proactive and personalised care closer to home.

We are passionate about developing and empowering our workforce. With two training practices, we actively promote learning, upskilling and knowledge-sharing across our teams. We aim to create a happy, supportive and knowledgeable workforce where colleagues feel valued, confident and empowered to contribute to improving our services and the care we provide. The Cancer Nurse will provide personalised, compassionate, and coordinated care to patients from the point of cancer diagnosis through treatment, recovery, rehabilitation. The role is designed to ensure that patients experience a seamless journey through health and care services by acting as a consistent point of contact, reducing fragmentation of care, and supporting patients to focus on their recovery and wellbeing.
