Wandle Primary Care Network.
Five GP practices. Working together.
ABOUT WANDLE PCN
Five NHS GP practices in the London borough of Wandsworth – Southfields Group Practice, Elborough Street Surgery, Wandsworth Medical Centre, The Earlsfield Practice and Triangle Surgery – have joined forces to offer their patients a broader range of accessible, high quality healthcare. Our united name for this is the Wandle Primary Care Network (PCN). Although our practices still operate independently, providing GP services and keeping their own patient lists, individual identities, premises and teams, we are now providing certain services together. These include extended access GP (evenings and Saturdays) clinics, as well as appointments with an array of specialist healthcare professionals, such as clinical pharmacists, physiotherapists, paramedics and a social prescriber. It is a new name, but it is about providing you with the right services, by the right people, at the right time – closer to home.
NEWS
Low mood, loneliness, anxiety? Wandle PCN & Brocklebank PCN are hosting a neighbourhood mental health event, ‘Beat the Blues!’
The period following Christmas and the New Year is recognised as a challenging time that can leave people feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Low mood, loneliness and anxiety can be amplified during the festive season and can continue into January and February when factors such as reduced daylight hours (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and financial worries can cause a decline in mood.
In collaboration with Brocklebank PCN, we will be hosting ‘Beat the Blues’ on 11th February 2026 at the Earlsfield Library (9.30-1.30) and at the Tara Theatre (10.30-1.30) to support our patients who are struggling with their mental health this winter. Join us for mental health and wellbeing advice and support and RSVP here.
CLINICS AND SERVICES
WANDLE WELLBEING HUB
Improving health and wellbeing through a community hub
We have recently launched a new community arm for our 5 GP practices – the Wandle Wellbeing Hub. This timely intervention adds a new dimension of support for our patients, offering social activities, exercise initiatives, events and expert-led sessions outside a traditional clinical setting. Join us at Brathway Hall, Brathway Road, London SW18 4BE on Mondays (10 am–1 pm) and Wednesdays (1:30 pm–3:30 pm).
SOCIAL PRESCRIBER
Connecting patients to local community services
Social prescribing enables referrals to a range of local, non-clinical services to support health and wellbeing. Our Social Prescriber is the link for our patients to local sources of support.
CLINICAL PHARMACIST
Consulting and treating patients directly
Our Clinical Pharmacists can help with expert advice about your medicines if you have a long-term condition, are experiencing side-effects, or have had a hospital stay. They review your medicines and can discuss how they are working for you.
Assessing, triaging and treating patients at home
Our paramedic serves our practice communities by visiting patients at home, where she assesses and triages needs, provides appropriate treatments, and makes referrals when necessary.
GP
Telephone and in-person GP consultations
We offer extended access for our practice communities, including weekday evenings and Saturdays, to better accommodate patients’ schedules and provide greater flexibility for care.
CARE COORDINATOR
Embedding a personalised approach
Care Coordinators are integral members of the GP practice’s multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with GPs, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless, personalised care and comprehensive support for patients.
NEIGHBOURHOODS
Bringing healthcare closer to home through integrated, preventative community teams.
A renewed focus on a ‘neighbourhood health service’ is placing greater emphasis on helping people live well within their communities and reducing reliance on hospital-based care. This approach prioritises shifting resources toward community-based services and delivering care closer to home. Watch this space on what this means for Wandle PCN…
