Management

Currently, about ninety per cent of all patient contact within the NHS is at primary care level. Primary care is therefore a key area where modernisation of facilities is required. NGPT is designed to provide modern state-of-the-art health and social care facilities for the 21st century.

Healthcare

Health care everywhere is undergoing great changes as many people realise that there is more to health than being physically fit and well fed. Innovative techniques in surgery and 'miracle' drugs improve many lives but continuing chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, arthritis, cancer, allergies, emotional and mental disturbances are the fate of many more.
