About us
At theheart of everything we do is one simple aim: to make primary care better foreveryone, patients and staff alike.
Wevestepped away from the old routines and reimagined how care should be accessed.That stressful 8am rush? Its a thing of the past. With our total triage model,patients now get the care they need, when they need it, from the right person,without the daily scramble for appointments.
Recognisingthe value of time, weve also increased GP appointment slots.That might not sound like much, but in healthcare, it makes a real difference,giving patients more space to talk and GPs more time to listen.
But wehavent stopped there. Weve introduced a broader range of clinical rolesacross the organisation, bringing in new expertise and expanding the type ofcare we can offer. Whether it's physiotherapy or pharmacy care, our teams aremore diverse and better equipped than ever.
