PRIMARIOS Competitors

The NHS was launched in 1948.

Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) represents family physicians, residents, and medical students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care. Our vision is to transform health care to achieve optimal health for everyone. Our mission is to improve the health of patients, families, and communities by serving the needs of our members with professionalism and creativity. In the increasingly fragmented world of health care where many medical specialties limit their practice to a particular organ, disease, age or sex, family physicians are dedicated to treating the whole person across the full spectrum of ages. The cornerstone of family medicine is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.

A community of digital experts who work across the NHS in England. Together, we work on products, services, programmes, IT systems and operations that improve lives for patients, carers, staff and communities. This space is where we can share news and best practice, job opportunities and ideas as well as develop our thinking through collaboration and problem solving. Part of our collective purpose is to transform the NHS – not only by empowering patients but also supporting clinicians, releasing more time to care. This is more about our approach than the technology itself. It is how we work, what it feels like to deliver, how we put our users first, how we experiment, and how we deliver brilliant products, services and programmes. We need to be bold and reimagine a future NHS. If we can get on the same page about the best way to deliver, then we stand a chance of delivering the transformation of the NHS in a different way…‘The Digital Way’.
