Social Prescribing 2.0.
– a collaboration with Surrey Physio Group
Wandle Wellbeing Hub
A new community arm for our practices
Wandle PCN has recently launched a new community initiative – the Wandle Wellbeing Hub, developed in collaboration with Surrey Physio Group. This timely intervention adds a new dimension of support for our practice patients, offering social activities (e.g. Coffee and a Chat), exercise initiatives, events and expert-led sessions outside a traditional clinical setting. These bi-weekly sessions are led by our social prescriber Lynne, physio Nergis, and practice GPs as well as visiting organisations, such as Citizens Advice, Wandsworth Carers Centre, DWP Benefits, Macmillan and Age UK, among others.

BEAT THE BLUES: A NEIGHBOURHOOD EVENT
A collaborative mental health event with Brocklebank PCN
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 and multiple voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations, we hosted ‘Beat the Blues’ on 11th February 2026 to support our patients who are struggling with their mental health this winter. Held across two local venues (the Tara Theatre and the Earlsfield Library) with VCSE stallholders and wellbeing sessions and talks, the event attracted 200+ attendees.
Carers Week Event
Launching our Wandle Wellbeing Hub’s series of events
Aware of the importance of the annual Carers Week campaign that raises awareness of caring, highlights the challenges unpaid carers face and recognises the contribution they make to families and communities, this year Wandle PCN hosted a Carers Event at the Tara Theatre in Earlsfield. Running from 10.30am – 3.30pm on 11th June, it was an opportunity for registered carers – and those who didn’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities – to ‘drop in’ and access support from multiple VCSE organisations.

‘Movember’ Men’s Health Event + Liver Bus
Healthier men, healthier communities
‘Movember’ is a global movement aimed at raising awareness for men’s health issues, including mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. To mark this, on 12th November our GPs Dr Mitali Agarwal and Dr Aryan Jogiya delivered a talk and Q&A on men’s health and the St George’s Hospital Liver Health team was on-hand nearby at St Michael’s Church with their mobile unit, offering free, easy liver health checks.
Fifty men attended the event, and the St George’s team took each patient’s history at the mobile unit before doing a Fibroscan and/or fingerprick blood borne virus test for those with relevant risk factors (fatty liver/ drunk excessively for 10+ years/ ever had Hepatitis infection/have a history of injecting drug use).
