Clissold Park Primary Care Network (PCN)

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan.  They provide the structure and funding for services to be developed locally, in response to the needs of the patients they serve. PCNs will help to join up services at a local level, focusing on the specific needs of these local populations, with patients still accessing routine GP appointments as they do now.

35,610 people are registered at one of four GP practices in Clissold Park. Four of the GP practices within City and Hackney have joined together to form the Clissold Park Primary Care Network. They are; Barretts Gove Surgery, Barton House Group Practice, Brooke Road Surgery and Somerford Grove Practice. Clissold Park is one of City and Hackney’s most diverse Neighbourhoods with the largest populations by ethnicity being White (59%), Black (20%) and Asian (10%). 

Clissold Park has a similar overall population to the City & Hackney. By being part of the PCN we have been enabled to devise and develop services that are tailored to the needs of our patient community.  Our aim is that this will help to give you, our patients, better access to the right care and support, at the right time.                   

Our surgery teams are working closely with each other, enjoying the ability to share expertise and resources, to develop new services. Of the 35,610 people, the majority of patients are registered at Barton House and Somerford Grove GP Practices.

 

Our Vision “is to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives and works in the borough in alignment with the need of our patient population and by building one City & Hackney.”

 

Our Strategic Aim:

  • Reducing inequalities in health
  • improving the experience of those who use services
  • Developing excellent integrated and more localised services
  • Promoting independence, choice and control by service users
  • investing resources effectively
