Our expertise

Through our extensive network of highly experienced professionals, the NAPC has a wealth of expertise covering care model redesign, system transformation, health technology, strategy, finance, analytics, facilitation, leadership development and clinical expertise across health and care. We work with health and care organisations in the UK to lead change in primary and integrated care.

NAPC plays a pivotal role in supporting the Community Health and Wellbeing Worker (CHWW) programme by providing strategic leadership, practical implementation support, and a platform for national collaboration. NAPC works closely with local systems to embed the CHWW model effectively locally, ensuring alignment with wider health and care priorities. Through training, resources, and ongoing networking, NAPC equips CHWWs with the tools they need to build trust, reduce inequalities, and activate communities from within. By capturing and sharing insights from across the country, NAPC is also helping to shape national policy and scale the programme sustainably.
