Expanded range

Three of our existing suppliers return as Buying Group members after adding even more deals for practices:

• Insurance
  Practices can now access cyber liability and management liability (directors and officers cover) at highly competitive rates. These new offers sit alongside the long-standing insurance offers covering practices, locums, PCNs, malpractice, property and more.
• Online training and practice support
  The new offer includes discounted prices (minimum 10% saving) on their HUB products which help practices with their HR, finance, and compliance management, along with staff training, and a staffing rota system. These complement an established offer around e-learning.
• Cloud telephony
  The highly regarded cloud telephony system returns as part of the refreshed Buying Group. We are also expecting to add AI scribe, patient facing care navigation and data analytics packages soon.

Coming soon

Over the next few months we expect to announce:
