GP Partner

Applications for the New to Partnership Payment Scheme (N2PP) opened on the 1st July 2020.

This NHS England and Improvement run scheme aims to increase the number of partners and those individuals with equivalent status working in primary care, in order to increase the levels of participation of clinicians in the partnership model.

How the scheme is run:

Eligible participants are given up to £20,000 plus a contribution towards on-costs of up to £4,000 to support establishment as a partner, as well as up to £3,000 in a training fund to develop non-clinical partnership skills.

• be a Health Care Professional working in general practice who are registered with their respective professional body and delivering clinical care to patients in general practice through a GMS/ PMS/ APMS contract

• not have been a partner in a GP practice before
