Meet the team
We’re the primary care communications team you’ve been looking for
Founded by Kara Skehan, friend and fighter for primary care and fierce comms advocate for over 20 years, we can help you sound, look and feel like the team that cares, listens and can be trusted. Because you are. You know you are.
We’re big fans of plain language and raising a smile. We’re not so big fans of generic and bland. Everything we do, from how we work with clients to how we expertly craft messages, is kept clear, simple and friendly.
Small and mighty is our team (over 30 years of collective healthcare comms-mighty!), and you might talk to Kara, Claire or Gemma when you work with us. There’s a trusted, super-talented band of specialist associates around us who help care for our brilliant clients, too. And just like our clients, we stick to what we’re really brilliant at and only work with teams who value good effective communications.
Dedicated to primary care communications
In 2016, we started out as Yorkshire Medical Marketing but in July 2022, we started to see green (more a lightbulb moment than a Hulk-smash one!) and rebranded to become Primary Care Comms Clinic.
Why’s that? Well, a) because our clients have been almost 100% primary care since 2018 and b) because without primary care, we don’t have an NHS, do we?
So our services and training are 100% tried and tested in frontline primary care, across many types of primary care organisations. GP practices, primary care networks, GP federations, primary care suppliers…if it’s primary care, we’ve done it. We even won an award for our comms at The GP Awards!
