About us
One
Care is the GP federation representing and supporting practices in Bristol,
North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG). Established in 2014, we have
76 member practices across the area that provide healthcare for around 1
million patients. Our vision is to enable general practice to survive and
thrive. We are a Community Interest Company focused on delivering benefits for
our practices.
We
offer direct support to practices with many different aspects of running their
day-to-day businesses through our Practice Support Team. We also support practices
to work at scale at PCN, locality and BNSSG-level, holding contracts on their
behalf as required and offering relevant expertise in digital, analytics and
communications. We work closely with our practices to amplify their voices in our
area's discussions and decisions about healthcare delivery.
In
September 2020, we established a GP Collaborative Board (GPCB) to accelerate
and amplify the representation of general practice in the wider health and
social care system. The GP Collaborative Board will enable general practice to
engage effectively with the developing Integrated Care System and to support the
development of strong place-based Integrated Care Partnerships. The
Collaborative Board brings together all general practice leaders so we can function
as an equal beside other providers and the commissioner.
The GPCB works
closely with the operational One Care board to set the direction for the
organisation.
