National Association of Primary Care
NAPC – “The Home of Clinical Commissioning”
Welcome
What is different about the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC)?
NAPC is the leading membership organisation, driving forward tomorrow's changes today. It is both a non-political and non-profit making body, which represents and supports the interests of all its members within primary care. Our policy is to seek to influence the primary health care agenda to bring about locally sensitive, appropriate and timely services for local populations.
NAPC is the only organisation in primary care, which has any historic experience among its officers and members, of GP practices managing real budgets. The demands and challenges of GP commissioning are in our blood stream; our understanding of the details of the processes involved is second to none.

Commissioning Support Survey
The Clinical Commissioning Coalition (NAPC/NHSA) would like to determine what is happening at CCG level about commissioning support choice in order to enable us to provide hard information to the Department of Health. It is important that CCGs are able to act autonomously and have access to their preferred commissioning support.
Please respond to the following questions by clicking the link below and answering Yes or No below or entering free text, where appropriate. The results of this very short but important survey will be posted on NAPC and NHSA websites at www.napc.co.uk and www.nhsalliance.org and shared with the Department of Health.
Please respond by Friday 3rd February 2012
Thank you for your assistance.
