ABOUT US
​GP Federations are collaborative networks of General Practitioners established to improve healthcare by promoting cooperation and resource sharing among GP practices. Each of the four Federations within the Northern Trust is a clinically led, not-for-profit Community Interest Company. By working at scale and pooling resources, they enable the delivery of services that individual practices could not provide alone.
There are 17 GP Federations across Northern Ireland. Each GP Federation is owned by GP practices in its geographical area, aligned to the 17 Integrated Care Partnerships.
​
The Northern GP Federation supports 69 GP Practices across four Federations which collectively cover a patient population of approximately 470,000 patients.
Antrim Ballymena Federation, Causeway Federation, East Antrim Federation and Mid Ulster Federation.

Joanne,
Lead GP Pharmacist
The flexibility of this new role within GP Practices. I feel that it has reignited my love of Pharmacy. I had friends who were employed in similar roles and they talked so animatedly about their work and the impact they make.
Stephen,
Senior Mental Health Practitioner
I welcomed the opportunity to work within the new Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT). Retaining the terms and conditions/benefits associated with my HSC continuous service was advantageous to me. It was great to have my years of dedication within the Health Service recognised by the Federation.
Lorraine,
GP Pharmacist
I enjoy the multidisciplinary approach to improving patient care, working closely with GPs, nurses and specialists in secondary care to improve patient outcomes. I also find rewarding
positive patient outcomes, for example after diabetic reviews, where lifestyle counselling and initiation of a new medication has brought their Hba1c into target range, or in pain
reviews where the initiation of a neuropathic agent has improved the patients’ quality of life
