About us
12PointCare is a Federation of 10 North Hertfordshire NHS GP Practices. The Practices have had an informal but close working relationship for a number of years. 12PointCare is a provider organisation which was conceived to allow your local GPs to bid for core medical work which could otherwise be contracted out to private medical providers. However, our remit has expanded to include training, recruitment and workforce planning.
12PointCare was incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 as a private company on 11 September 2014. All of the elected directors are local GPs and Practice Managers. Tenures are usually three years. Our current Directors are listed in the “our team” section. Why is 12PointCare a company limited by shares? Setting up 12PointCare as a social enterprise may have limited some of the tenders for which we could bid.
This business structure enables employees to access the NHS Pensions Scheme, an important issue in recruitment and retention of key clinical staff.
