About Walthamstow Central Primary Care Network

Walthamstow Central Primary Care Network (PCN) is a partnership of local GP practices working together to improve access, deliver proactive care, and meet the health needs of our community in Walthamstow, E17.

What we do

Our PCN brings together clinicians and support teams to provide services that individual practices cannot deliver alone. This includes:

Improved access

Working together to provide more appointments, extended hours, and joined-up urgent care options.

Specialist roles

We offer access to physiotherapists, pharmacists, mental-health practitioners, health coaches and social prescribers.

Proactive care

Supporting people with long-term conditions through reviews, medication optimisation and preventative programmes.

How we work together

As a PCN, we bring our teams together to collaborate, share learning, and deliver consistent, high-quality care. Our practices share:

  • Clinical leadership across all member practices
  • Shared staff teams (FCP physio, pharmacists, mental-health practitioners, care coordinators)
  • Joint pathways for long-term conditions and multi-disciplinary meetings
  • Data, analytics and quality improvement work
  • Stronger links with hospitals, community teams and local authority services

Our member practices

  • Addison Road Medical Practice
  • Claremont Medical Centre
  • Dr Dhital Practice
  • The Firs Medical Centre
  • Waltham Forrest Community & Family Health Services Ltd

Our approach to quality

Data-driven care

We use shared analytics to identify needs, reduce inequalities, and support better outcomes.

Serving our community

We work closely with local community organisations, NHS providers, Waltham Forest Council, voluntary services and public-health partners to ensure residents can access the wide range of support available locally.
