A Toolkit designed to support the development of Primary Care Federations, and developed by The King’s Fund, The Nuffield Trust and Hempsons solicitors.

 

 

 


 

The College believes there are considerable opportunities for Federations to maximise benefits for patients. This Toolkit provides a useful compendium of practical advice for existing and fledgling Federations. It draws upon the experience of Federations so far, and we commend as an essential resource in taking general practice forward to the next level.
