Who we are

Imp Healthcare Ltd. is a federation of GP practices based in Lincoln and the surrounding villages. Together we cover a population of circa 70,000 patients.

For general information about such organisations we suggest you search the web for ‘GP federations and networks’ or ‘general practice at scale’. 

 

What we do

We aim to work together to provide an enhanced range of health services to our patients within their own locality. We are working together to provide an efficient and resilient primary care service for our patients, and to ensure a sustainable model of care for the local NHS for many years to come.

Current federation projects

Extended access scheme

This provides our patients with access to routine GP, nurse, and allied health professional appointments outside of normal core hours. Our patients are able to book appointments via their own surgery at a range of other practices within the federation so they can be seen at a time and place convenient to them. We offer a range of appointments Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, plus some routine appointments on Saturdays and Sundays.

The primary care bundle

This allows patients to access investigations and procedures at their own practice which are not normally offered within primary care, in order to avoid visits to secondary care services. This currently includes access to ECGs, 24hr Blood Pressure recording, and ear irrigation for impacted wax.

Unification of record keeping

We are working on a shared set of data entry templates in order to harmonise practice across our membership, with a view towards further close integration in the future.
