Welcome to Newham Central Primary Care Network
A collaboration of four GP practices serving approximately 65,000 patients from the Newham area.
Join us for our carers event!
PCNs will support each other while offering more specialist care services to patients and taking on a wider range of health professionals, such as:
- Clinical pharmacists, who can make sure patients’ medications are right
- Nurse practitioners, who can see and treat patients independently
- Physiotherapists, to help with recovery and mobility
- Paramedics, who can provide urgent care at the surgery
- Physician associates, who can, for example, take medical histories and blood pressures, complete insurance forms and explain treatments, freeing up the GP
- Social prescribing support workers, to help address non-clinical issues such as isolation and provide a more-holistic approach to care
This approach is designed to free up time for GPs, so they can focus more on supporting patients with the greatest needs and the most-complex conditions.
