Joining NPC as a practice
Supporting GP practices for a stronger future
At Northumbria Primary Care (NPC), we understand the pressures facing today’s GP practices. Increasing workloads, recruitment challenges, and administrative burdens can make it harder to focus on what truly matters—delivering excellent patient care. That’s where we come in.
NPC provides an at-scale, not-for-profit model that allows practices to retain their local identity while benefiting from the resources, expertise, and stability of a larger organisation.

Sustainable and resilient workforce
We help with recruitment, retention, and staff wellbeing, ensuring your practice has the right people in place for long-term success. Our neighbourhood approach increases resilience and provides your team with an expert support network.
Financial stability and efficiency
As part of a larger network, practices benefit from economies of scale, shared resources, and improved financial sustainability.
Clinical excellence and innovation
NPC fosters collaboration across practices, providing access to peer support, specialist expertise, and cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care.

We believe in preserving the unique character of each practice while offering the benefits of a larger organisation. You remain rooted in your community while gaining strategic leadership and operational support.
Opportunities in research
