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.
