South Havering Primary Care Network is a collaboration of 10 local GP practices collectively caring for a registered population of over 64,000 patients

We are one of five PCN’s in the London Borough of Havering

Primary Care Networks were introduced in 2019 as part of the NHS Long Term plan.  As the population grows and people live longer, often with more complex needs,  GP services have had to adapt to these changing needs.

GP practices are working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks.

We are a collaborative healthcare network of 10 General Practices serving the population of South Havering with an extended multi-disciplinary team seeking to provide accessible, patient-centred, and high-quality primary care services that promote the health and well-being of our community and our workforce.

Primary Care Networks have been given funding to provide additional roles to create bespoke multi-disciplinary teams within their individual network. 

PCN’s assess the needs of their local population and, working with local community services, make support available to people where it is most needed.
