The Hub Plus: A workforce partner for Primary Care – practical, trusted and people‑centred

Workforce pressures are growing, expectations are rising, and Primary Care and General Practice teams are being asked to do more than ever before. The Hub Plus helps practices, PCNs and healthcare organisations build resilient, develop skills and strengthen sustainable teams through practical solutions, training and leadership development.

The Hub Plus is a not-for-profit organisation rooted in Primary Care.

Our team includes experienced clinicians, educators and workforce leaders who understand the realities of modern General Practice and neighbourhood healthcare delivery.

We deliver end-to-end support, helping teams respond to immediate operational pressures while building confidence, capability and leadership.

We work alongside NHS England, Integrated Care Boards, system partners, practices and PCNs across Derbyshire and beyond to strengthen the Primary Care workforce and improve long-term sustainability.
