About us
The Primary Care Alliance is a primary care provider collaborative. We have 36 general practice members. The Alliance became a Community Interest Company in 2026.
Our mission
Our mission is to support and sustain the practice ownership model. We seek to do this through: Acting as a united face of primary care across Berkshire West. Supporting the collaboration of members whilst preserving local identity. Giving members access to skills and capabilities they could not access by working alone. Contracting for services that need to be provided at scale.
We are not:
Commissioners of health care services. We bid for services we think would best be provided through our primary care partners. Legal or contractual representatives of general practices, these are the respective roles of the Local Medical Committee and the Integrated Care Board. Competitors with practices and PCNs. If a component of primary healthcare is to be commissioned and is most appropriately delivered at practice or neighbourhood level then we are quite clear that the GP practice is sovereign, and in its turn, the PCN.
