ABOUT US
Northumbria Primary Care (NPC) is a not-for-profit, at-scale provider of primary care services in Northumberland and North Tyneside. Our organisation launched in 2015 with an ambition to work at scale with like-minded practices, improving resilience and quality of services for our patients whilst retaining practice identity and team composition.
We operate with a unique model of an entirely salaried workforce providing primary care services to around 134,000 patients from 20 GP surgery locations (12 GP practices). We employ more than 500 staff.
“Since joining Northumbria Primary Care, I’ve been able to achieve a much healthier work/life balance.”
“It’s a relief knowing that things like recruitment, building management etc are taken care of. Me and my team can now focus all of our time on our patients.”
“The support that NPC provides our practice allows us to spend more time providing primary care.”
“My work/life balance is better than it’s ever been.”
“Allowing to focus more on the clinical aspects of my role has meant our patient satisfaction has gone up.”
“There’s been a marked improvement in the positive feedback we receive from patients since we began working with NPC”
What we do
NPC provides practices an option where partners retain their GMS/PMS contract, to continue working with their team, from their practice seeing their own patients but with the support, resilience and security of being part of a larger organisation.
