About Us
South Fulham Primary Care Network (PCN) is a forward-thinking and passionate network based in the heart of south-west London - spanning Fulham, Parsons Green and Wandsworth Bridge Road. We are a network of seven local GP practices serving a population of 63,000 patients.
The PCN employs staff on behalf of the network and holds directly commissioned contracts from NHS England and North West London Integrated Care System.
We are an innovative, can-do and ambitious team who aim to provide consistent, excellent healthcare for all our patients and local residents. We have a diverse team of twenty five staff from clinical and non-clinical backgrounds; including Paramedics, Pharmacists, Link Workers, Care Coordinators and Health & Wellbeing Coaches. We are excited to guide our PCN through its next stage of growth and development.
In the following video our Clinical Director Dr Aaron Vilath gives an overview about our PCN:
Who we are
Ethos: Together we can do more
Vision: South Fulham PCN will provide high quality care through an inclusive and community-focused approach.
Values: Accountability, Compassion, Honesty, Contribution, Quality, Professionalism, Effectiveness
Our values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that guide our organisation. They were developed by our PCN Board - at which every practice is represented - and refined and expanded in January 2024 at our organisation-wide Away Day.
We believe our values demonstrate the core ideals we represent as a Primary Care Network towards our patients, colleagues and stakeholders.
Our surgery teams are working closely with each other, enjoying the ability to share expertise and resources, to develop new services. Our vision is to continue to improve the quality of care that we provide in alignment with the needs of our patient population. Because we are part of a PCN we can take advantage of additional staff roles that are now available to support all our patients. These additional roles help us to provide the right care at the right time, from the right professional. The following video helps to explain these additional roles:

WHAT ARE PRIMARY CARE NETWORKS?
PCNs build on current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively providing care for the people and communities they serve. PCNs usually have a 30-50k population and are geographically contiguous (next to or touching another).
