What is a Primary Care Network?

A primary care network is a group of practices who work together to focus on local patient care. They’ve been around since 2019 and 99 per cent of practices across England now work as part of one.

With increased demand and a shortage of clinical staff, practices find they can provide greater, more personalised care for patients when they can work together on certain services or issues.

Meet Our Team

Dr Mohammed Haaque
Clinical Director

I’ve been a GP in Lambeth for over three years now, though I originally come from East London. South London has really become home for me, and I’m passionate about helping to improve the health of our community here. After finishing medical school in Leicester and completing my GP training at Guy’s and St Thomas’, I realized that the heart of healthcare is in general practice.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports like tennis, football, and badminton, which help me stay fit and relaxed. I believe that looking after my own health allows me to be at my best for my patients. As the lead for Streatham Primary Care Network, I’m dedicated to supporting our local practices and ensuring we deliver the best possible care for the people of Streatham.

Sam Shedden
PCN Administrator

After several years of building a rewarding career in Human Resources, where I honed my skills in employee relations, recruitment, and talent development, I have decided to embark on a new journey with the NHS. This transition excites me as it allows me to leverage my HR expertise in a health care setting, where I can contribute to enhancing workforce management and supporting the well-being of staff who are dedicated to caring for others. The opportunity to work within such a vital and impactful organisation aligns with my passion for making a difference in people’s lives, and I am eager to bring my knowledge of HR practices to foster a positive and effective workplace culture for Streatham’s Primary Care Network.

Social Prescribing Link Worker

I was born in Nicaragua, coming from a tropical country I have experienced different natural disasters and I remember the war when I was child.

I have studied a degree in business back home, but my first job was in an NGO that stands for children in social exclusion, was there when I realised that I didn’t want to work in my career. I was working as accountant.

Therefore I decided to change the course of my career, when I moved to Spain I studied a post degree in humanitarian aid, also done some voluntary work with women who were disadvantaged and vulnerable.

In the UK, I have worked for many years in the care industry but I felt that something was missing until I heard of social prescribing. This is a great opportunity to through my job improve the living conditions of many people, having the right information, the right resources and good connections and relationships in the community.

In my role as social prescriber link worker I have different situations, you can meet people with different backgrounds, age, ethnicity, religion. I find that very enriching and challenging, can feel like a personal assistant for every single case as you need to focus in every detail.

Hoping to be of help for the patients and learn from them too.

Social Prescribing Link Worker

Practice: Palace Road Surgery, The Vale Surgery

Gender: Male

Other languages spoken: English

Following a lengthy career supporting a variety of vulnerable people living in residential care and supported housing, and as an advocate for disabled people, I sought and found a different challenge that would aim towards improving the human condition, and towards overcoming numerous social and financial barriers that may affect the health and wellbeing of local people from all walks of life.

I came on board with Streatham PCN as a Social Prescribing Link Worker, and I have to admit that my role at times makes me feel a bit like Santa Claus, whenever I ask my patients fundamental questions such as… “What do you want the most in your life?” and “What are the things that mean the most to you?”

This approach feels organic and natural to me, after having previously trained as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner.

I feel that my patients are like onions… sometimes they may make me cry, and sometimes, I believe they may also have many hidden and complex layers to them.

In my SPLW role, I relish the opportunity to peel away those layers, in order to get to the heart of my patients’ issues, within the time that I am allotted to spend with them.

I actively seek to find practical solutions and offer real alternatives to my patients, and will refer them to local organisations or services when necessary, in the hope that they that may offer further appropriate help and support to my patients.

I am currently based at Streatham Hill Group Practice, Prentis Medical Centre and Valley Road Surgery, and continue to accept GP and other health professional referrals.

I work with the Streatham PCN and a Streatham GP Practice as a Care Coordinator/Practice Administrator.

I enjoy all aspects of my position and I always take pride in my work.

My position involves helping the patients; in particular with their language difficulties.

I am often called by my team members to offer translation services for the South Asian patient population.

I work closely with the patients in order to assist them with their social and medical needs.

I help with application forms involving the Council and I follow up with routine and urgent long-term condition appointments with the clinical team.

My role is a responsible position which involves care planning and coordinating.

Anna Lubac
Health and Wellbeing Coach

Other languages spoken: English, Polish

Are you navigating a long-term health condition, facing life’s challenges, or seeking to enhance your overall wellbeing? Together, we can explore how Health and Wellbeing Coaching can make a meaningful difference for you.
I feel privileged to work with patients over several sessions, allowing me to get to know them, listen to their stories, and build trust and rapport— the key ingredients for any successful professional relationship.
My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where we work as equal partners.

I bring a wealth of expertise in coaching, along with a deep understanding of the psychology and neuroscience of behavioural change. My diverse background includes management, adult learning & development, and coaching within the NHS and beyond.

Meanwhile, you bring invaluable expertise in your own life and health. Together, we’ll explore your unique needs and challenges, identifying strategies that address your immediate concerns while building the skills and confidence needed to take control of your health journey.

I believe that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected and must be approached together. By focusing on the different aspects of your health and wellbeing—emotional, physical, and social—we can create a holistic plan that supports your long-term health, resilience, greater life balance, and overall sense of wellbeing.
