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.

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.

Our people are our power. Staff engagement has never been stronger. We actively listen to our teams, to their ideas, their challenges, and their goals and we support them in growing and reaching their full potential.

We believe in celebrating the wins, big and small. From a successful pilot project to a kind word from a patient, we know that progress is built one step at a time.

Above all, we work collaboratively across practices, breaking down silos, learning from each other, and trying new approaches to deliver the best care possible.

We're not afraid to rethink how things are done because better is always possible.

This is more than just change - its progress with purpose - and were just getting started!
