About Us
Welcome to the Loughton, Buckhurst Hill & Chigwell PCN.
We are a team of highly skilled NHS clinicians working collaboratively with your GP surgery, to provide greater provision of personalised, coordinated, and integrated health and social care, in your community.
The Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, and Chigwell Primary Care team has been celebrated for their centralised care home hub, designed to enhance care for residents across six local care homes. By implementing daily ward rounds and dedicated reactive care sessions, including full-day coverage on Fridays, the team has significantly increased its capacity to address patient needs swiftly. This proactive approach has strengthened collaboration with system partners and health professionals, enabling all-day responsiveness to urgent care requests. The result is a more efficient and thorough care service, with a notable reduction in A&E attendances, ensuring that residents benefit from timely, consistent, and high-quality care.
Sleepstation is an online platform that utilises psychology and sleep science to provide specialised advice to help you with your sleep.
