About us
At the
heart of everything we do is one simple aim: to make primary care better for
everyone, patients and staff alike.
Weve
stepped 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.
Recognising
the 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 we
havent stopped there. Weve introduced a broader range of clinical roles
across the organisation, bringing in new expertise and expanding the type of
care we can offer. Whether it's physiotherapy or pharmacy care, our teams are
more diverse and better equipped than ever.
