About Us

We are a rapidly growing GP-led organisation with a mission to ensure that all patients have access to comprehensive, coordinated and continuous care within a sustainable primary care system.

We appreciate that our whole primary care system is struggling, which is causing a negative effect on patient care and staff happiness.

We believe that we can turn this around by reimagining how primary care is delivered from the ground up by placing a focus on data insights, technology and clinical innovation.

Ultimately, we want to improve patient access, patient experience and health outcomes to significantly increase the quality of care for our patients.

However, we can only build the best primary care service there is if our colleagues are happy, empowered and supported within an excellent working environment.
