The Secretary of State for Health and Care, Wes Streeting, and the Chief Executive of NHS England, Amanda Pritchard, have announced a rapid review of how care is coordinated between different parts of the health service. This includes:
- how referrals are made and managed, including waiting lists

We know that things are not as smooth as they could be, and this review is an opportunity to better understand and find potential solutions to some of the problems. We would like to get your perspective on what’s working well, what is working less well, and what you think could be done differently.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week - March 2024
Monday 18th March to Sunday 24th March
A series of online events celebrating and promoting understanding of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised and respected as all other human variations.
People can use neurodiversity as an umbrella term used to describe alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyscalculia, Autism and ADHD. But regardless of labels, neurodiversity is about recognising those who think differently and how we can all benefit from different thinkers!
Approximately 15-20% of population has a neurological difference. Many ‘challenges’ neurodivergent people face are more to do with the environment and systems they are placed in, often designed by a majority population.

Your Yearly Health Check
General practice surgeries in North Central London (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington) are offering a new way to treat and support people with long-term conditions. This is called your Yearly Health Check.
Click here to watch a short film that shows an example of a patient’s journey through the key stages of the process and what to expect from your Yearly Health Check
We are improving the way we work with patients with long-term conditions
Patients living with certain long-term conditions will be encouraged to attend a Yearly Health Check. Long-term conditions are those that impact over a long period of time, such as diabetes and heart diseases.
Patients will receive personalised care and support from healthcare professionals from their general practice. This will cover things that patients say matter most to their health and wellbeing, from the best treatment for their condition, to wider things like employment, housing, and mental health.
Our goal is that by planning care together with care, patients will have the confidence to manage their health, reduce their risk of being admitted to hospital, and have a better quality of life.
Who is this for?
- Cardiovascular disease (for example, strokes, health failure, ischaemic heart disease, and
- peripheral artery disease)
- Diabetes
- Hypertension (High blood pressure)
- Hyperlipidaemia (High cholesterol)
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Atrial fibrillation
- Chronic kidney disease
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
What can you expect?
1. Attend your Check and Test Appointment
2. Receive your test results and your Care Plan
- What is important to you and the goals you have
- How to get the most out of your medication
- The care and support you need from others
A healthcare professional will review your Care Plan with you in your Discussion Appointment. You can start filling out your Care Plan before your appointment or you can fill it during your appointment.
3. Attend your Discussion Appointment
You will then be invited to a Discussion Appointment with a healthcare professional. This may be another team member (such as a nurse, health care assistant, pharmacist, social prescriber link worker) who is best placed to support your care and can spend more time with you. This appointment will take around 30 minutes.
You can discuss your long-term conditions, test results, treatment, and anything else that is affecting your health, from housing to employment. Together we will look at what matters most to you and agree some goals. Your Care Plan will be updated with what has been agreed.
4. Attend your Follow-Up Appointment
Three to six months later, you will be invited to a Follow-Up Appointment. This will last up to 15 minutes and is an opportunity to update your Care Plan with a healthcare professional, considering what is going well and where you may need more support. You may have more than one Follow-Up Appointment in a year.
Watch the short film below to see an example of a patient’s journey through the key stages of the process and help you understand what to expect from your Yearly Health Check.

We will contact you via text, phone call, or letter to organise your appointments. We will contact patients over the year so please do not worry if you do not hear from us right away. If you are concerned or have questions, please contact us.
We are an Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP practice.
This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment.

Antibiotics: what they are, and how we should use them appropriately
Did you know antibiotics are no longer routinely used to treat infections?
This is because:
- many infections are caused by viruses, so antibiotics are not effective
- antibiotics are often unlikely to speed up the healing process and can cause side effects
- the more antibiotics are used to treat trivial conditions, the more likely they are to become ineffective for treating more serious conditions
Both the NHS and health organisations across the world are trying to reduce the use of antibiotics, especially for health problems that are not serious.
Follow the link below to learn about antibiotics, how important they are, and how we should use them appropriately
