About City & Hackney Integrated Primary Care
City & Hackney Integrated Primary Care (IPC) is the federation of all 37 GP practices across City & Hackney, working together to support nearly 357,000 registered patients. We’re not a GP practice ourselves; instead, we provide services, staffing, and coordination so that local practices can focus on what matters most: delivering excellent care to their patients.
