About Membership

Your County Needs You

The more members we have the louder our voice and the stronger our position. Much of our work is to do with influencing the local interpretation of national policy and regulation. We liaise closely with the Somerset County Council, elected members, members of parliament, the Care Quality Commission and the Primary Care Trust. Joining RCPA Ltd as a member is a chance to have your voice heard and to positively affect the direction our sector takes in the future.

There are numerous benefits to becoming a member of RCPA. Once a member you are no longer alone. We are here to help, support and advise you on all aspects of running your business. If we do not know the answer to your questions then we will know someone who does. We are only a phone call or email away. We represent over 60% of care providers in Somerset and our membership is growing. So why not join and become a part of the strength that numbers provide.
