What is a Federation?
A GP Federation (or Primary Care Federation) is a company formed by a group of local GP practices, working together to support the health needs of their communities. They act as an extension of Primary Care, providing extra help to individual practices or delivering services across the system when needed.
Uniquely, Federations use the same GP clinical records as their member Practices; allowing them to deliver care that us fully integrated with the GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) they represent. For patients, this means easier access to coordinated, high-quality care and a team that can respond quickly to what matters most to you.
Brighton and Hove Federation (B&HF) is a company limited by shares, with each of our 26 member GP Practices as shareholders. Our Board includes representatives from each of the 6 Primary Care Networks (PCNs) we support. We provide some NHS services directly and also support our practices to provide services themselves. Any surplus we generate is reinvested back into Primary Care.
