Speaking about Primary Care Direct, Agencia’s Managing Director, Helen Gibson says:
“GP practices are well placed to take advantage of significant commercial opportunities, particularly from CCG’s, Local Authorities and a variety of other funders. However, faced with a need to respond and mobilise quickly to invitations to tender and implementing new services successfully won, many Practices have turned to Primary Care Direct for technical or short term capacity support. Primary Care Direct has been designed with the input of GP Practices themselves, and launched to ensure GP Practices have all the support they need to thrive in today’s healthcare commissioning environment.”
