What we do
At its simplest, we offer enhanced primary care services to the population of Islington and beyond.
Our Community ENT service offers Islington patients fast and efficient community based ear, nose and throat treatments whilst our Gynaecology Collaborative service is available to the patients of both Islington and Haringey in convenient locations spread across both boroughs.
We provide, on behalf of four Islington Primary Care Networks (PCN), an Enhanced Access Service. This is a GP service that runs weekday evenings and Saturdays and is intended to offer patients a high-quality service outside of core opening hours.
Our Urgent Care Bridging Service supports patients with acute medical issues suitable for primary care management but arise outside of core primary care hours. The service is open Saturday evenings, Sundays, and Bank Holidays.
But we go much further than that.
We work in close partnership with a range of partners including the regional integrated care system, NHS England, Healthy London Partnership, Public Health, acute trusts such as UCLH, Whittington Health and the London Borough of Islington.
Our Severe Mental Illness (SMI) service in collaboration with Camden and Islington Mental Health Trust and the Islington Hostel Outreach Team, a service that delivers holistic healthcare to people experiencing homelessness are two prime examples of our delivery of optimised clinical pathways for hard-to-reach groups.
Finally, we are constantly searching for ways to support the resilience of our member practices and deliver modern general practice.
From our direct delivery of GP practices, managing the North Central London Primary Care Access Recovery Plan, development of workforce via programmes delivered by our Training hub through to our practice-based pharmacists and housebound flu campaigns, we continue to improve outcomes for patients and support the delivery of excellent patient care.
