Who is Neighbourhood Health Group?

Neighbourhood Health Group is a clinically led provider of high-quality primary care services, offering both mock CQC inspections and the management of GMS contracts across England. As part of the wider Celsus Group, we benefit from a strong foundation of healthcare expertise, operational excellence, and national resources, enabling us to bring innovation, structure, and sustainability to local neighbourhoods.

At our core, we are committed to delivering exemplary care at the right time, in the right place, tailored to the unique needs of the neighbourhoods we serve. Our aim is to improve patient outcomes, empower individuals to live fuller lives, and ensure care is always delivered with compassion, dignity, and respect.

We believe in local delivery with central support, creating resilient, responsive, and people-centred services. Our approach blends proactive care, improved patient access, and digital development with a strong focus on community engagement and collaborative working. By partnering with key stakeholders and local services, we ensure the best use of resources while expanding patient choice and strengthening the health of our neighbourhood populations.

Our people are at the heart of what we do. We prioritise team well-being, invest in ongoing professional development, and support a sustainable workforce that brings stability and continuity to every community we operate in. Above all, we are driven by a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. Whether we’re supporting practices through mock inspections or delivering care directly, our mission remains the same: to provide trusted, high-quality healthcare, reduce risk, and add long-term value, for every neighbourhood, every time.

Our Services

GMS Contract Management

We take full responsibility for running GMS contracts, combining hands-on operational management with clinically led oversight. From workforce planning and patient access to governance, finance, and digital systems, we ensure the service is safe, compliant, and built around the needs of the local population. With our experienced team at the helm, GP surgeries benefit from clear direction, operational stability, and a deep understanding of the pressures faced in primary care.

Our approach is grounded in local delivery with national support. We work closely with local stakeholders, community services, and clinical teams to deliver people-centred care that improves access, strengthens continuity, and achieves measurable outcomes. With the backing of the Celsus Group, we’re able to scale best practices, share resources, and build resilient services that grow with the neighbourhood, always putting patients and practice teams first.

CQC Readiness and Mock Inspections

Our mock CQC inspection service is designed to prepare your practice for the real thing, without the pressure. Led by experienced healthcare professionals who understand both the clinical and operational requirements of primary care, we assess your current systems, processes, and culture against the latest CQC Quality Statements and expectations. You’ll receive a realistic snapshot of where you stand, what’s working well, and where improvements can be made.

Unlike a box-ticking exercise, our inspections are rooted in value and improvement. We offer clear, practical recommendations tailored to your specific setting, along with guidance on how to evidence good practice, close compliance gaps, and strengthen your governance. Whether you’re newly established or well-established, our support is designed to add clarity and confidence to your CQC journey.

Our Values

Clinically Led, Expert Driven

Our team is led by seasoned clinical experts. Their combined experience in frontline care, quality improvement, and system leadership ensures that our guidance is not only regulatory but deeply rooted in the realities of modern general practice.

Care at the Core

Compassion is not a tick-box, it’s the foundation of our neighbourhood-first approach. We work closely with local communities to ensure care is personal, responsive, and respectful, so that every patient feels seen, heard, and valued. With the strength of a national network and the heart of local delivery, we’re committed to improving lives, one neighbourhood at a time.

Safe First

We believe that safe care is the foundation of high-quality, effective healthcare. It’s not just about meeting standards; it’s about consistently delivering care you can trust. By embedding safety into every layer of our approach, we help practices raise the bar, reduce risk, and deliver better outcomes for patients and teams alike.

Leadership that Listens

Strong leadership underpins resilient and efficient healthcare. We work alongside practices to nurture confident, inclusive leadership that not only drives cultural change and quality improvement, but also streamlines systems and supports smarter, more effective decision-making. By listening first, we help shape leadership that delivers, for teams, patients, and the wider community.

Turning Insight into Innovation

In a constantly evolving healthcare landscape, adaptability is key. We go beyond identifying issues, we help practices respond with agility and fresh thinking. By turning insight into innovative, practical solutions, we support services to evolve, stay ahead of challenges, and continuously improve the patient experience.
