GP federations & super partnerships

Legal advice on GP federation and super partnerships

GP practices are coming under increasing pressure to federate. If established properly, GP federations can help make the most of cooperation between GPs - providing opportunities for all, sharing best practice and protecting practices against competition from the private sector. However, it also carries the risk of creating uncertainty and dividing practices, whilst draining financial and other resources.

• How to manage conflicts of interest and balance members' individual interests against the needs of the federation.
• What social enterprise, charitable or community fabric can be woven into the overall structure?
• Are you future-proofed against change?
