Practices that fully join and subcontract service delivery to NPC are able to relinquish responsibility for employment of staff, lease and ownership of premises and managing income and outgoings. They can expect support with, among many other things, their CCQ inspection and changes to national practice. That being said, our salaried partners are expected to remain active members of practice decision-making, trouble shooting and service innovation. We can offer a tailored support solution for your practice without the need to fully join or subcontract to NPC. With current workforce challenges and cost pressures, practices may wish to consider alternatives to conventional staffing models. For example, we believe we have an attractive, efficient and safe alternative solution for the clinical coding and medicine tasks of practices. By entering a service level agreement with NPC we would be able to provide practices a trained, quality controlled, audited and fully managed clinical coding and medicine technician service at a fraction of the cost of replacing vacancies with a GP. With the service showing that it can reduce a GPs' working day, practices may choose to reduce their expected clinician establishment, or if already fully recruited, simply improve their work life balance and get home at a reasonable time. Some of our GPs shared their experience of working in an NPC practice: "My workload is balanced and manageable. I frequently get home on time" (GP at Cramlington "My life as a GP is definitely improved by skill mix" (GP at Ponteland "At scale working just makes sense" (GP at 49 Marine Avenue) "I am supported and encouraged to develop professionally and take on leadership responsibilities" (GP at Ponteland) "Cross site support has been very helpful in times of crisis" (GP at Spring Terrace) "For me, the medicine technicians were a revelation" (GP at 49 Marine Avenue) Bespoke packages of support can be designed according to the needs of the practice(s). We would be happy to talk through what you need and how we can help. Please contact us at nhc-tr.nhs.net or call Julie Danskin, managing director on 0191 2932730. If working in a new model where you can focus on being a clinician and a leader is appealing, please do get in touch. © NPC2014 | SITE MAP | CONTACT US REGISTERED COMPANY NUMBER: 08985903 Follow us on Twitter Find us on Facebook
