A GP Federation (sometimes called a Primary Care Federation) is an organisation formed by local GP practices working together to support the health needs of their communities.
Federations act as an extension of primary care, helping practices work together, providing additional support where needed, and delivering services across a wider area when this is more effective than practices working alone.
Federations use the same GP clinical systems as their member practices, which means care is joined up and information can be shared safely and appropriately between the teams involved in your care. For patients, this means better coordinated care and improved access to services.
Brighton & Hove GP Federation is owned by its member GP practices, who work together through the Federation to deliver services, support practices and improve healthcare for local people.
