The primary care sector stands at the forefront of healthcare. It's tasked with delivering comprehensive, patient-centered services in an increasingly complex landscape of regulatory and technological challenges. In 2025, FPM Core is a game-changing tool to empower primary care providers to adapt, innovate, and thrive. 

Here’s how FPM Core can drive transformation within your critical sector, and help you fulfil your New Year’s resolution to improve policy compliance in 2025.

Streamlining Administrative Processes

Primary care practices often grapple with administrative burdens that take time away from patient care. FPM Core addresses this challenge by:
•    Automating tasks such as compliance checks, policy updates, and reporting.
•    Centralising document management to simplify operational workflows.
•    Integrating scheduling and patient management systems for seamless coordination.
This efficiency allows healthcare professionals to focus more on their primary mission—caring for patients.

Enhancing Compliance and Risk Management

Regulatory compliance is a cornerstone of effective healthcare delivery. FPM Core provides:
•    Tools to monitor and manage adherence to regulations like GDPR.
•    Automated alerts for policy lapses or risks of non-compliance.
•    Audit-ready documentation to ensure smooth inspections and accreditation.
With these features, practices can minimise risks and focus on delivering quality care.

Facilitating Digital Transformation

Increasing the use of technology and the digital agenda is one of the Health Secretary’s “big shifts” for the NHS over the next year and beyond. FPM Core acts as a catalyst for digital innovation:
•    Integrating with Electronic Health Records (EHR), telemedicine platforms, and patient engagement tools.
•    Supporting the transition to value-based care models by aligning policies with patient-centric practices.
•    Leveraging AI and analytics to optimise resource allocation and improve care delivery.
These capabilities ensure practices remain competitive and future-ready.

Improving Data Accessibility and Insights

These features foster a culture of excellence and accountability.
