The Practice

The Practice is a primary care company operating a network of GP surgeries and providing healthcare services to GPs and Primary Care Trusts.

The Practice is a primary care company providing innovative community based healthcare for the NHS. We believe in bringing appropriate clinical services out of hospital and into the community so patients can be treated closer to home.

The Practice is one of the UK's leading providers of primary care services and delivers specialist clinical services to GPs, the MoD and PCTs. We also operate a growing network of surgeries, delivering effective infrastructure which allows our GPs to concentrate on their core skill of practicing medicine.

The company recently acquired Chilvers McCrea, a competitor bringing 25 surgeries and 1 walk in centre into the business.
