We're SSP Health, the leading GP practice group in the North West
Our unique practice model gives patients access to more services and flexible support from GPs who can focus on quality patient care at all times.
Our approach benefits
patients and practice teams
patients and practice teams
Our practices benefit from a centralised resource of shared skills, expertise, and support. As a group, we're stronger and more capable of supporting patients at local practices. The SSP practice model allows clinicians to focus on patient care, unburdened by administration, management, and other non-specialist tasks.
Staff Rentation
Putting staff happiness first. Work is spread across our group to give our team more time and less stress.
Staff Wellbeing
Real leadership and progression opportunities, training, and ways of working that suit you.
Support for All
No matter how small a practice, it benefits from the resources and support of SSP as a whole.
Flexible appointments
Our scale allows us to offer better access to specialist facilities and healthcare centres.
Record Keeping
Centralised documentation management to negate time wasting and human error in practice.
Proper Prioritisation
Greater access to remote services enables us to prioritise effectively and reduce pressure on hospitals.
Patient Autonomy
A mixture of face-to-face and remote services allows us to provide patients with more control over their needs.
Keeping practices local,
even the smaller ones.
By bringing practices into our group and fortifying them with our systems and resources, we’ve been able to save multiple practices from closure, preventing job losses and allowing patients to continue seeing GPs in their area.
Seeing your GP should be easy
We give patients back the power to communicate with GPs as and when they need to. Thanks to our modern, digitised services, patients can choose from phone consultation, electronic messaging, or in-person appointments, with face-to-face appointments always available to those that need it.
