About us

Nexus was formed in 2016 with the merging of established local practices in Southwark. We look after a practice population of more than 76,000 patients spread across our 8 sites. Our clinical approach is based on a foundation of clinical excellence, clinical leadership, and clinical governance shaped by the needs and challenges of our local population. We are a well recognised training organisation for future GPs and nurses. We are focused on the learning and development of our clinical and non-clinical staff.

We operate 8 GP Practice sites across north Southwark that are geographically close and well served by local transport hubs at London Bridge, Elephant & Castle and Canada Water. We share a single patient list but our patients are attached to a specific site and are looked after by local multidisciplinary teams which include GPs, Nurses, Physicians Assistants, Paramedics, ANPs and Pharmacists. Our site based teams are supported by Managers and local administration staff. Our GP Partners have overall clinical and administrative responsibility for Nexus Health Group and are supported by a Senior Management Team and centralised HR, IT, clinical administration functions

Nexus works closely with our local PCN and 2 of our GP Partners are PCN clinical directors.
