Primary Care Anchor Networks

At SWL Primary Care Anchor Networks our aim is to collaborate with local partners to create and sustain vibrant and healthy communities. 

- Joining up NHS, social care and public health services at local level 

- Strengthening NHS organisations' focus on addressing health inequalities 

- Creating partnerships to support healthy communities 

- Increasing recruitment of local people into Primary and Community Care roles 

This approach demonstrates how Primary Care in South- West London can leverage their position in the local community as a major employer and resource holder to positively impact our local communities and through collaboration with strong ties with our communities address health inequalities. 

The work of anchor institutions across London benefits Londoners of all backgrounds, as well as primary care itself.
