Our Mission
Giving The Residents Of Greenwich The Best Possible Primary Care
Greenwich Health is leading the GP Federation by working closely with CCG, local NHS trusts and all care providers to make a greater impact in the community by delivering the best primary care.
Our first initiative has been an overwhelming success, as we have successfully launched 4 GP Hubs for everyone in Greenwich. With full access to a GP on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as every evening during the week, Greenwich Health is providing flexible primary care that works for our population.
From there we have developed our Live Well Centres, Dressing Service, Diabetes 3TT Service, Greenwich Training Hub and now our Vaccination Centre to support the COVID vaccination roll-out in Greenwich.
Each service has continued to improve primary care in Greenwich and most importantly, offered critical support to our partners, the 30 GP practices in Greenwich.
