WANDLE WELLBEING HUB

wandle wellbeing hub.

In collaboration with Surrey Physio, Wandle PCN has recently launched a new community initiative – the Wandle Wellbeing Hub. This timely intervention adds a new dimension of support for our practice patients, offering social activities, exercise initiatives, events and expert-led sessions outside a traditional clinical setting. These bi-weekly sessions are facilitated by our social prescriber Lynne, our physios and GPs, as well as by visiting organisations, such as Citizens Advice, Wandsworth Carers Centre, DWP Benefits, Macmillan, Age UK Wandsworth and EMHIP, among others. Whether you’re looking to stay active, connect with others, or access practical advice and support, there’s something for everyone. Click the events diary link below to find out more.

‘Beat the Blues’ – Wandle PCN X Brocklebank PCN – Neighbourhood

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, june 2025, tara theatre

Carers week event

The annual Carers Week campaign raises awareness of caring and highlights the challenges unpaid carers face and recognises the contribution they make to families and communities. To mark this, we launched our new community hub with an event at the Tara Theatre in June 2025. 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 PCN clinical staff and multiple voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisations.

Men’s health + liver bus event

‘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 2025 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-four 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).
