Our PGPA Board Members

Together we are stronger.

Pennine GP Alliance (PGPA) is made up of 10 voting board members, all who play a critical role in representing the alliance externally, championing the interests of GP practices, and ensuring the voice of Primary Care is heard across the local, regional and national health system.

“I absolutely stand behind the importance of empowering our GPs, community healthcare providers and social care systems to deliver integrated and proactive care. This includes investing in technology, workforce and infrastructure to enable more services to be delivered locally and in a timely manner, ultimately working better for our local neighbourhoods, reducing pressures on secondary care and bringing care closer to home.”
