The Bridgend East Cluster Network includes a cluster of five GP practices, five of which are training practices. The cluster network estate includes six main surgeries and one branch. There are 13 community pharmacies, 14 dental practices, six residential homes and three nursing homes. We serve a population of 70,464 in a predominantly urban environment. The particular features of our population are in line with Welsh average. Patient numbers are rising due to our location around the M4 corridor with an increasing ageing population. There is an increasing multicultural population and deprivation is greater than the Welsh average and the cluster is experiencing increasing social needs. Overall the prevalence for chronic disease is slightly lower than other areas in Bridgend. All Wales Social Enterprise Health & Wellbeing Toolkit for General Medical Practitioners
