The General Practice Finance Corporation Ltd (GPFC), with over 30 years experience of providing surgery finance, has revealed a new look together with a number of marketing initiatives for 2002.

The new look, which features the familiar Norwich Union brandmark, will be seen across a range of initiatives including the web site and a series of special General Practitioners communications.

Earlier this year, GPFC ran a series of seminars across the country with the objective of better understanding GPs current issues and their future plans. This, in conjunction with a special research project about the finance needs of GPs, has helped shape GPFC's plans for the year ahead.

The marketing initiatives planned for the year ahead include:

* Special Business Guides for General Practitioners
* A newsletter
* Community packs

David Wright, head of sales and marketing at GPFC, said: "Our new look and marketing plans firmly underline our commitment to the General Practitioner's market and more closely align GPFC with the Norwich Union brand.

"There are many fundamental changes happening in the NHS and we want to ensure that GPFC is at the forefront of people's minds when looking for professional advice on surgery finance."
