About us

WHAT WE DO

Our Health Partnership was set up by local GPs who are passionate about providing high quality primary care and using their time and skills effectively to benefit patients. We’re currently a GP partnership of 30 Practices with 38 surgeries. GP partners and salaried GPs in Our Health Partnership serving around 281,000 patients in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Shropshire.

The partnership offers a shared administrative and management structure, cutting down the time doctors have to spend on admin. It opens up economies of scale to get best value from budgets. It has the resources to develop innovative services and effective partnerships with local hospitals and care services. And it can access new funding streams that are only available to large GP organisations. That means more choices and a quality service for patients, a secure future for the local surgeries they rely on and security and job satisfaction for our committed and capable doctors and practice staff.

WHY WE ARE HERE

All OHP practices are registered as locations under our one CQC registration.

As a partnership we have registered our organisation as one registered provider, which will help practices continue to provide a high standard of patient care and introduce continuity across OHP Practices. Each of our Practices has its own CQC ratings.

OUR TEAM

We have a Board and Central Team together with our central office staff. They are here to support all our GP practices, cutting down on local admin and applying best practice throughout Our Health Partnership.

THE BOARD

Our Health Partnership is led by committed and experienced GPs and healthcare specialists. They share a passion for outstanding primary services and a deep practical knowledge of community healthcare. The board is made up of elected GP partners, an appointed practice manager and officers, that lead the central function. The board is supported by strategic advisors and non-Board GP Partners and Practice Managers.  The Board is responsible for the central functions of Our Health Partnership, including accounting, HR, finance and all CQC standards. It also investigates and shares best practice and innovation, provides a strong voice for the collective locally and nationally, manages our partnerships and is in constant communication with all our GP practices to support their individual needs.
