Our Core Values

Who are we?
Nova Healthcare Solutions (NovaHS) was formed to offer an innovative helping hand to primary care organisations attempting to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare delivery.
The company is primarily a Healthcare organisation with an interest in the research and development of HealthTech. Its establishment in April 2020 was in response to the escalating challenges faced by primary care and driven by the collective expertise of practicing GPs who understood firsthand the pressures confronting the sector.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Samim Azim has an extensive background encompassing over 13-years of hands-on experience as a doctor across numerous National Health Service (NHS) organisations. He was well placed to utilise this experience to guide and inspire the multidisciplinary team in the inception of Nova.
This commitment to excellence is reflected and recognised in NovaHS's CQC regulation and the continued growth and expansion within the sphere of primary care.
Our Journey So Far
From its creation within a pandemic, NovaHS's beginnings can be traced to a GP practice in north London. The team is made up of over one hundred members of staff and evolved to offer administrative, clinical, technical and bespoke services.
NovaHS's one team approach has provided an environment of two-way communication that encourages practices to view our staff as a part of their own team. This model has led to the development of services based on real life feedback and directly impacted the support provided to patients throughout the length and breadth of England.
The collaborative development of services has enabled NovaHS the opportunity and privilege to serve over 2 million patients across 32 ICBs. The organisation is proud that this growth has been purely through the power of word of mouth.
Vision & Mission
A focus on supporting primary care is part of a wider vision to see an NHS operating in harmony in an integrated, streamlined, and efficient manner, founded on standardised practices to enable the best possible outcome for patients and the individuals serving them.
NovaHS provides services solely to and for the benefit of NHS providers and has a wide range of customers of all sizes and designations. The team is always open to discussing collaborations and potential partnerships that may help to bolster our ongoing mission.
The mission for NovaHS remains clear: to provide a helping hand to bolster clinical capacity within primary care, relieve the pressure on individuals working within the sector using a one team approach and promote the best possible outcomes for the patients in a cost-effective manner.
