PRIMARY CARE ACCELERATOR
EMBEDDED WITH OHP, LED BY EXPERTS
TEST, DEVELOP, SCALE AND SPREAD
We have designed a programme (called the Primary Care Accelerator) to understand what you would like to see in primary care innovation. Source new products, test them, develop them and scale them beyond our estate. While doing this we will also be able to participate in their future economic success through taking equity. The process is detailed as below:
Test
We design tests of technology in partnership with practices and tech providers to understand if the technology works.
Develop
By helping the providers understand the key strengths and weaknesses of their technology, we develop a strategy to build correctly for primary care.
Scale
Using our collective understanding of how to scale, we build the key components needed with providers to get them into the wider OHP network.
Spread
Once we have proven the solutions to work at small and medium scale, we spread them to the wider GP community.
TEAM
Vish will be supporting our programme to keep the innovations grounded in the reality of the problems faced today in GP Practice.
Sophia is supporting the team to ensure our relevance to Primary Care and to keep the operations between start-ups and practices frictionless.
Fraser provides the partnership with oversight of the operation of the accelerator and provides clinical support.
Omar has the role of making sure that the start-ups selected have the correct factors in place to accelerate beyond our accelerator and be picked up by the VC ecosystem.
Jai has a background in investment and in primary care finances. His role is around financial compliance and support with returning value of the equity.
Josie’s role is to ensure that the programme is safe and compliant with regulations, providing contractual advice and advising on the implementation of any digital solutions.
