Our History

Founder David Price

We support world-class research and facilitate improving the lives of patients.

Founded by Professor David Price, Optimum Patient Care (OPC) is a not-for-profit social enterprise. It has over 19 years of experience in supporting quality improvement activities and research across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Australia.

OPC prides itself on building a network of over 1200 GP practices across the UK. Working together, we improve the care and management of patients through ethically approved research. The following services are offered at no cost to GP practices:

  • Quality improvement programme to support annual re-validation (currently asthma & COPD)

  • Enhanced quality data collection (questionnaires, improved coding)

  • Research support (database, phase IV and V trials)

OPC improves the health outcomes of patients through large-scale clinical services and supporting important research which has been proven to impact clinical management and improve patient care.

OPC is supported by an extensive range of clinical experts as part of a National Steering Committee. By working closely with a group of leading respiratory experts, we ensure that the best possible clinical service is provided.
