Our Member Practices

PCN Clinical Directors

Each PCN Primary Care Networks has a Clinical Director. Clinical Directors provide leadership and help shape strategic plans, working with member practices in their own PCN Primary Care Networks and the wider group of PCNs across Wandsworth to improve the quality and effectiveness of the network of services available to patients.

How we work with the Clinical Directors

BHCIC Battersea Healthcare Community Interest Company has a significant part to play in helping the local primary care system to be organised and supported to provide effective and efficient leadership, management and service delivery. Part of that means working between primary care providers and the wider health and care system, and making sure primary care has a strong voice in Wandsworth. The recent creation of a formal collaborative between the 9 PCNs through their Clinical Directors and BHCIC Battersea Healthcare Community Interest Company working as Primary Care Wandsworth provides a positive first step in this direction at local level. 

Development of Integrated Care Systems

Since 2018, Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) have been developing between the NHS, local councils and other key partners such as community services and the voluntary sector. In South West London six boroughs have come together to form the South West London ICS Integrated Care System : Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth.

The aim of an ICS Integrated Care System is to develop better and more convenient services and set shared goals for the future of patient care and treatment with the aim of keeping people healthy and out of hospital. Each borough will work as part of this bigger ICS Integrated Care System collaborative but will also be able to plan and coordinate services they need at a local level - this will be known as 'Place'.  

BHCIC Battersea Healthcare Community Interest Company plans to prioritise establishing a leadership presence and making an effective contribution to the creation and operation of the South West London ICS Integrated Care System , with a particular focus upon building our role within the future collaborative working arrangements for the Wandsworth ‘Place’.
