Symphony Healthcare Services (SHS) is a largescale primary care organisation based in Somerset that provides NHS services via Primary Medical Service (PMS) and General Medical Service (GMS) contracts commissioned by the NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB). We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and accountable to the Trust’s Board of Directors.
Following the organisations establishment in April 2016, Symphony Healthcare Services currently operates and supports 16 GP surgeries across 21 locations in Somerset to continue to provide primary care for their population.
In common with the national picture, some of our practices have previously been struggling to manage the combined pressures of increasing and more complex patient demand, as well as difficulty in recruiting clinical staff. By joining together we aim to meet the current and future challenges by providing a sustainable, high quality healthcare service for our patients.
