One Care awarded BNSSG Vaccination Outreach contract

One Care has been awarded a three-year NHS England contract to deliver Vaccination Outreach for all age immunisations in BNSSG from September 2026. One Care is lead provider in a partnership with Sirona care & health and Caafi Health that brings together the strengths of general practice, community healthcare and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector to focus on people and communities who are least likely to access routine vaccination services.

The Outreach Service will be designed to complement existing vaccination services. One Care invites member practices to complete this Expression of Interest form to understand general practice capacity and appetite to deliver vaccinations. We anticipate practices and Sirona will be subcontracted to deliver vaccinations and would be paid a flat rate of approximately £250 per hour in addition to the item of service fee per vaccination. Caafi Health and VCSE partners would support with outreach, education and delivering clinics.

To hold this contract, One Care has successfully achieved Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration which provides the infrastructure needed to oversee regulated healthcare services while maintaining robust quality and governance standards.

One Care Annual Review 2025-26

One Care has published its Annual Review 2025-26, showcasing the impact of our work with, for and on behalf of general practice across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire over the past year.

The review reflects how, during a year of significant change, One Care has continued to support general practice while working collaboratively with partners to address shared challenges and opportunities. It showcases our role in bringing together the collective voice of general practice, supporting service delivery, enabling innovation and helping to strengthen primary care as the foundation of our local health system.

The Annual Review explores the support provided to practices, the development of new services and programmes, and our role in bringing together the collective voice of general practice within our local health and care system.

As the GP-owned federation and representative body for general practice in BNSSG, One Care is proud to work alongside colleagues across the NHS, local authorities and voluntary sector to improve outcomes for patients and communities.

New local primary and secondary care guidance

BNSSG’s Primary Secondary Interface Group (PSIG), made up of general practice and Bristol NHS Group clinicians, alongside GP federation One Care, Avon Local Medical Committee and the Integrated Care Board (ICB), have agreed local guidelines for working together to improve care for patients. The guidelines set out principles for joined up working between staff across different care providers and champion collaboration.

The Primary Secondary Care Interface Guidance and Summary Infographic have been developed by local clinicians for clinicians and set out principles to reduce duplication, clarify processes and improve communication between our organisations. PSIG aims to continue to develop the guidelines and expand them to include BNSSG’s community and mental healthcare partners.
