We deliver high quality healthcare with community based contracts, utilising local and national clinical expertise. ACHE has been developed by GPs to provide innovative methods of community health provision, up-skilling and training of health professionals. This includes the development of GPwERs (GPs with extended roles).
ACHE offers providers the opportunity to develop new sources of income, work in partnership with the commercial sector, and increase efficiency, all while maintaining the same quality, values and ethos as the NHS.
ACHE provides a significant contribution to the NHS and delivers some clear outcomes including:
ACHE facilitates training for GPs to develop their skills in their clinical area of interest. A GP with an extended role (GPwER) is a GP who undertakes, in addition to their core general practice, a role beyond the scope of their training and the MRCGP, and which requires further training.
ACHE has supported 5 GPs to specialise in Dermatology through the RCGP Dermatology accreditation program. Consultant led clinics and training are provided by ACHE to enable GPs to grow their clinical expertise.
ACHE supports and advocates the principles and values that guide the NHS, which can be accessed by referrals from GP practices.
The NHS works across organisational boundaries and in partnership with other organisations in the interest of patients, local communities and the wider population.
The NHS is committed to providing best value for taxpayers’ money and the most effective, fair and sustainable use of finite resources.
The core value of ACHE is that we care about our patients, carers and families, our partners and all the people we work with underpinned by our core values and our “can do” approach.
We are committed to the training and development of healthcare providers to be able to offer specialised services in the community.
We are committed to working with our GP colleagues and other healthcare partners to provide the best possible care for all our patients.
"The objectives of ACHE reflect the aims and values of the organisation."
