Sutton Primary Care Networks is the collaborative vehicle for the four Sutton PCNs and the former Sutton GP Federation working together as a single entity. We are a Community Interest Company that aims to reinvest surpluses back into general practice and primary care for the benefit of our members and the people who form the communities we serve.
Sutton has four PCNs whose boundaries are based on historical relationships and groupings of organisations. There are some similarities of resident’s health and care need’s unique to a particular PCN, and many more needs that are shared across all four PCNs.
Our four PCNs, represent all 23 GP surgeries in Sutton. Their collective footprints cover all of the London Borough of Sutton and its residents who are able to access and benefit from the services and improvements offered by Primary Care Networks.
Central Sutton PCN - Four practices located around Central Sutton which are: Mulgrave Road; Old Court House; Robin Hood Lane and Grove Road; covering around 45,000 patients.
Carshalton PCN – Seven practices serving Carshalton and Hackbridge which include: Chesser Practice; Bishopsford Road; Wrythe Green; Sutton Medical Centre; Hackbridge Medical Centre; Faccini House and Green Wrythe; serving just under 60,000 patients.
Cheam and South Sutton PCN – Four practices serving Cheam and South Sutton which are: Benhilll and Belmont; Cheam GP Centre; Cheam Family Practice; and James O’Riordan; serving just under 50,000 patients.
Wallington PCN – Eight Practices serving 60,000 patients in Wallington and Carshalton Beeches which are: Maldon Road; Shotfield; Manor Practice; Wallington Family Practice; The Beeches; Wallington Medical Centre; Park Road and Carshalton Fields.
The key aim of the Sutton PCNs is to bring better, quicker and more accessible healthcare services closer to patient’s homes. We are working hard to deliver on this aim by working very closely with all our partners in Sutton and its surroundings. Most of the services we provide, are commissioned by our key South West London Clinical Commissioning Group (SWLCCG) with whom we work closely at a local and ICS level.
As Chair of the PCNs Board, I ensure that the most important points for consideration are covered and conduct the business of the meeting in an orderly manner, ensuring that the agenda is adhered to and facilitating discussion from Directors, whilst keeping to the time.
As Chair of the CGQS Committee, I assist the Board in its duty of oversight by focusing on the areas that are within the scope of the CGQS:
As Chair of the FRAC Committee, I assist the Board in its duty of oversight by providing additional assurance to the Board. The FRAC Committee is authorised by the Board to act and review any activity within these Terms of Reference and to seek any information required from any employee or director.
My main reason for becoming a GP was to help my patients to live healthier lives but as I gained experience as a doctor in the public healthcare system, various pressures inevitably shaped my practice in a reactive and prescriptive way. Population Health is our opportunity to CHANGE our practice and address the root causes of disease more effectively by proactively adapting our local service and individual practice to our population needs. I hope it will enable healthcare professionals to establish a more meaningful practice and relationship with the patients we serve.
