About us
First 4 Health Group is a forward-thinking, innovative group of GP Practice that is committed to the provision of excellence in General Practice.
Our supportive collaborative 'group' way of working enables us to provide each practice with cross cover when required. We have adopted innovative ways of working, and by having a central management team, we are able to take the administrative practice management burden away from clinicians so they can focus on clinical work.There are always exciting opportunities for Clinicians to take on, grow and develop clinical leadership roles or to get more involved in the management of our practices if they wish to do so. We have invested in developing innovative and digital ways of working to support our clinicians and effectively manage patient demand.Clinicians are welcome to develop their specialist areas of interest and we are always interested in taking on GP's who wish to develop new and more fulfilling ways of working, especially with a digital focus.
We are closely involved with our PCN's and take an active role in their growth and development. The exciting work we are able to do at a PCN level enables us to work at a community level to improve population health across our PCN's as well as improve the range of services our patients are able to access.
