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.
