Innovative partnership with GP consortium, optimising primary care services in West Sussex
In 2008 Ashley House plc formed a strategic partnership with Innovations in Primary Care Ltd. (IPC), a West Sussex-based GP consortium serving 480,000 patients.
The partnership is designed to facilitate delivery of a broad range of primary care services, and equip IPC with sufficient scale and expertise to secure NHS contracts.
Having reviewed the market at the end of 2007, IPC selected Ashley House as its strategic partner based on a shared vision of innovation, in-depth knowledge of the
sector and its commitment to a genuine partnership approach.
“We reviewed all of the key players in this market but none could compete with the depth of industry knowledge, expertise and quality of Ashley House’s people. Ashley House quickly recognised the investment made by GPs and their staff in establishing IPC, and pledged to invest a comparable level of resource in developing complementary services.”
