Provision

What Provision does

Provision (legally Primary Healthcare Provision Ltd) is a Birmingham-headquartered UK healthcare services company founded in 2022 that supplies fully-trained clinical pharmacists to NHS GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs). The company places pharmacists into surgeries either remotely or in-practice and executes a defined service catalogue spanning prescription reauthorisations, structured and notes-based medication reviews, long-term condition reviews (including diabetes, asthma, and COPD), document management, prescription issuing, acute clinics, and quality improvement/auditing. Provision's technology layer is built around integration with the three principal NHS GP clinical systems — EMIS Health, SystmOne (TPP), and Vision — plus ancillary integrations with AccuRx, Docman, Eclipse Live, and DartOCM. AI features (AI Reauthorisation, AI Document Management, AI Consultations Manager) appear on a public roadmap but are not yet live.

The business model relies on NHS-funded reimbursement schemes, principally the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), where Provision helps PCNs deploy ARRS budgets that would otherwise go unspent — up to 40% of ARRS allocations reportedly go unused. Multi-year contracts are negotiated directly with Practice Managers and Lead GPs, with service protocols customised per practice rather than delivered as a fixed package. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct to enterprise buyers (GP surgeries), supported by website content and NHS funding channels. The company reports a 22% month-on-month growth rate, a 97% employee retention rate, and an internal claim that 62% of an average GP surgery's workload can be automated through Provision's services. No external funding rounds, ownership transactions, or revenue figures are disclosed.
