Once there is a small core group, ideally 5 GPs who want to commit to working as a Pallant Medical Chambers, one of our clinical directors and one of our chambers managers will come to your area and go through all that’s needed to set you up. We’ll collate information about the new members and the new chambers and rates so you have some 'Marketing Packs' to introduce your current practices to the Pallant way of doing things. We’ll get your existing bookings onto our bespoke booking system and - for no fee - we’ll take over all the billing/banking of your existing bookings for you.

Ideally 5 or more; starting as a small group you’ll be able to start chambers meetings and educational meetings and you will be able to offer practices reasonable availability between you. However, we would consider setting up with just one GP (and have done with members who have moved to a new area from an existing chambers), but in these circumstances a single-Pallanteer chambers would 'buddy' with an adjacent chambers until more GPs have been recruited.

That depends on you – if you’ve already got a core group of potential members, ideally some doctors who are already locuming locally, we can start within a week or so of getting all your details onto the system. We’ll work with you to make sure we’ve got a good database of practices to begin working with.

You can benefit from working as part of a growing network of chambers and from our experience and expertise, using the systems we have developed without having to invest the significant amount of time, energy and money that is needed to set up a successful chambers on your own.

We would always recommend establishing Pallant Medical Chambers in a new area as a first option, but if there are particular reasons which require an independent approach we may be able to offer an established group of GPs assistance with administration support and other management tasks. Please get in touch to discuss this further.

Yes, we would work closely with you and visit as often as necessary to make the transition as smooth as possible. We would launch with a press release in your area and make contact with all the practices you currently work at to reassure them. We would explain the relationship between you and Pallant Medical Chambers and the services offered and spell out the advantages to them; and if necessary a chambers manager will be available to make visits to practices with yourselves.
