Sutton Primary Care Networks

Sutton Primary Care Networks in partnership with 21 Sutton GP Practices. Sutton has a population of approximately 200,000 residents registered to 21 practices and there are currently 4 Primary Care Networks (PCNs); Carshalton, Cheam & South Sutton, Central Sutton and Wallington PCN; each serving a population of approximately 50,000 patients. Primary care networks (PCNs) form a key building block of the NHS long-term plan. Bringing general practices together to work at scale has been a policy priority for some years for a range of reasons, including improving the ability of practices to recruit and retain staff; to manage financial and estates pressures; to provide a wider range of services to patients and to more easily integrate with the wider health and care system. Sutton PCN is forward-looking, friendly and focused on providing a wide range of excellent healthcare services to patients in Sutton and the surrounding area. We merged as we could see the benefits of working together in a larger GP partnership and we are delighted to be realising some of those benefits now. Because of our scale, not only are we more resilient and efficient but we are able to invest in continuous quality improvement, enhanced care, new services and training and developing our workforce. We value the diversity of our colleagues and actively champion an inclusive culture and are committed to helping our colleagues achieve a work/life balance.
