NHS Alliance: a brief overview

The NHS Alliance is the only organisation that brings together PCTs with practices, clinicians with managers and board members - and NHS Primary Care with its patients.

It is completely independent of government (and of any particular interest group or political party too) though it is happy to work in partnership with all bodies associated with the NHS providing its values and principles are not compromised.

The NHS Alliance membership and its hardworking national executive is fully multi-professional. No other NHS body has PCT chief executives and other senior managers, doctors and practice managers, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals, along with board chairs and members, all working together to improve the health service.

The NHS Alliance champions, supports and represents NHS primary care and all those working in it as a movement committed to a fair and progressive NHS that is free from the traditional tribalism of single interest groups. At the same time, it recognises the value of specialist expertise and its thirteen professional networks allow all groups to benefit from their insights, ideas and experience.
