GP Federation remit
The remit of a GP Federation is generally to share responsibility for delivering high quality, patient-focussed services for its communities.
This can include developing services specifically to suit local needs which are more easily commissioned on a larger scale – i.e. across several towns/districts.
Federations can submit bids to deliver services which are already part of primary care services, enhanced services such as GP Plus, or new services such as GP in Emergency Departments.

Primary Care Networks
GP practices across the country also work together in Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
These networks help us deliver more personalised services within our communities and make sure the different health and care services are working together better.
As networks, PCNs can apply for NHS funding to pay for staff in new roles such as clinical pharmacists and social prescribers – known as ‘Additional Roles’. These new roles help practices provide more personalised care to patients.
SWGP is supporting most PCNs in South Warwickshire with back office support such as recruitment, contracts and training, as well as providing services such as COVID vaccination clinics for patients.
