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
