Hillingdon Health Centre is part of the Synergy Primary Care Network (PCN). The other practices within this network are Belmont Medical Centre, Central Uxbridge Surgery, and Brunel Medical Centre. We work collaboratively, sharing multidisciplinary clinical teams as listed below.

Personalised Care Team

Personalised care simply means that you as patients have more control, choice and say when it comes to the way your care is planned and delivered. We take into account what’s important to you, your individual needs, preferences and circumstances. 

Choice plays a big factor in everyday life, and that should be no different when it comes to decisions about the care we receive for our physical or mental health.

Personalised Care is an integrated whole system approach that can lead to better health outcomes, experiences and satisfaction.

Monika's primary role is to support Multi-Disciplinary Teams to bring together multiple services around a patient to ensure that their individual needs are addressed through a single personalised care plan.
