What We Do

Ask your GP practice first (rather than going to a sexual health clinic such as  the Clifden Centre or the Ivy Centre) for LARC options available at the practice. If your GP practice doesn’t do coil or implant fittings or removals, they may be able to book you an appointment at one of the LARC Hubs in City and Hackney.

Technologies

We support GP members with shared ‘back office’ functions and use of new technologies, so they can work at scale across large populations and neighbourhoods.

Strong workforce

In City and Hackney, we have built a strong local healthcare workforce. We recruit GPs, nurses, pharmacists as well as apprentices who are trained to be receptionists and administrative staff. We support our local staff with training and education to develop their skills and expertise.

GP federations

Bringing GP practices to work closely together with other surgeries in their areas in GP federations is now a common health service approach in the UK. A GP federation can be one or a range of approved legal entities.

Working together

Working with other local GPs means our practices can share their back-office services and systems, recruit talented doctors and health professionals, use quality performance indicators across their networks and work collaboratively to meet them, so they can improve patient experience and quality of care.
