Formed in 2016, NCGPA is a GP federation made-up of over 30 member practices within the Nottingham city area, covering a population of over 400k patients.
We believe the best way to support general practice is through partnership and collaboration. By combining knowledge, sharing knowledge, and pooling resources, we can hep practices become more resilient to the challenges they face.
From our headquarters in Nottingham city centre, we directly run four practices from a centralised hub, support the employment of staff in our PCN teams, and operate City Wide Services. We assist with finance, HR, communications, and logistical support so frontline staff can reserve their time and energy for helping patients.
The day to day running of the company is through a Senior Management team, comprising of the Chair, Secretary, and Medical Director along with the company’s Chief Officer. They work alongside our Board to shape our future direction with the valued input from our member practices. Between them, they have a wealth of experience of delivering quality care to patients in Nottingham and share a unified ambition to create a bright future for general practice.
