About the National Association of Primary Care
NAPC is a social purpose not for profit that has been central to reform and innovation in healthcare for over 20 years. Rather than seeking to continue a narrow “medicalised” model, through our work we have sought to put deprivation, inequalities, planetary health and the wider bio-psycho-social determinants of health at the heart of our drive to improve the health of the population.
Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015
NAPC as a small business is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking. As an equal-opportunities employer, the Small Business Commissioner is committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for its staff.
NAPC’s recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion once in our employment.
