About us
Employment will be with OWLS CIC Ltd West Lancashire GP Federation, as a central function to the GP Practices and Primary Care Network (PCN) members. OWLS CIC is a small GP owned and led not-for-profit primary care organisation, run by GPs and health professionals. OWLS was founded in the 90s by a small group of General Practitioners, with the main aim of ensuring high quality out of hours services. In 2017 it transitioned to become a GP Federation to support and provide services for its practices and to offer a vehicle that local GPs had an opportunity to bid for, and provide, innovative primary care services in their local area. We are a not-for-profit organisation, which means that all the money we generate through service contracts is invested back into providing patient care
