About us

The GP Support Unit (GPSU) exists to champion, support, and amplify general practice in Somerset. Acting as an extension of the practice team, we lead with compassion - recognising the pressures general practice faces and approaching our work, and each other, with kindness and understanding.

We help GPs and primary care professionals navigate challenges, embrace innovation, and thrive. Through collaboration, shared expertise, and hands-on support, we deliver high-quality services that reduce burden, unlock system value, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Trusted by practices and recognised across the Somerset system, the GPSU is here to make general practice stronger - now and into the future.
