You are invited to help the NHS to transform primary care services in south west London. To do this, they have set up a patient, public & carer representative group, which helps shape the work of their Transforming Primary Care Delivery Group. Being part of this will give you the opportunity to contribute to discussions about primary care developments in south west London and share what is important to you as patients who use primary care services.
The main focus of the work is to lead transformations and improvements in primary care across south west London. The Transforming Primary Care Delivery Group, which this group will feed into, is made up of staff, including clinicians, from the six south west London Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), NHS England, South West London Collaborative Commissioning (SWLCC), Healthy London Partnership and the London Local Medical Committee (LMC).
