Star Trek The United Federation of Planets, usually referred to as "the Federation", is an interplanetary federal republic composed of planetary sovereignties depicted in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. The planetary governments agree to exist semi-autonomously under a single central government based on the Utopian principles of universal liberty, rights, and equality, and to share their knowledge and resources in peaceful cooperation and space exploration

RCGP definition
A Federation is a group of practices and primary care teams working together, sharing responsibility for developing and delivering high quality, patient focussed services for their local communities.

As the coalition government moves forward with their plans for clinical commissioning, the Royal College of
General Practitioners (RCGP) commissioned an online resource to
support GP practices forming federations.
Developed by The King's Fund in partnership with the RCGP, the Nuffield
Trust and Hempsons Solicitors, this toolkit provides advice and support to practitioners and managers in primary care who are thinking about, or have already embarked upon, developing a
federation to provide and develop services collaboratively.

WHY BOTHER?Federations
![Page 14: Merseyside Family Doctor Association WELCOME GP Federations & AGM 27 November 2014.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649c815503460f94939ad7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why bother? – RCGP survey• Strengthening the capacity of practices to develop new services out of
hospital • To form an entity that can tender for services offered by a future GP
commissioning consortium • To make efficiency savings/economies of scale, for example in back
office functions or the procurement of practice services • To improve local service integration across practices and other providers • To enhance the capacity of practices to compete with external private
sector companies • To strengthen clinical governance and improve the quality and safety of
services • To develop training and education capacity
![Page 15: Merseyside Family Doctor Association WELCOME GP Federations & AGM 27 November 2014.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649c815503460f94939ad7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why bother?• Recruitment issues• Retirement issues• Income dropping• High % GP income will not come from GMS/PMS• Need to bid for contracts e.g. LES’s• New GP Contract• Need leads for ‘everything’• CQC requirements• Fragmented community services need focus• Safety in numbers?

Research Evidence – Kings Fund and Nuffield – 10 lessons
1. The motivations for practices to federate vary.2. Function affects form 3. Independence from the statutory sector accords longevity. 4. Involving doctors is relatively easy – it is harder to be more
inclusive.5. Primary care organisations are good at planning and
developing services within primary care and community settings
![Page 22: Merseyside Family Doctor Association WELCOME GP Federations & AGM 27 November 2014.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649c815503460f94939ad7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
10 lessons continued
6. Primary care organisations are more likely to make substantive change where they have direct control of budgets and where there are direct financial incentives for professionals. 7. Clinical leadership and engagement are essential 8. High quality management and infrastructure support is critical

Risks
• Actual sustainability : wage costs, reduced funding…• 25% retirement rate in next 5 years urban areas• Succession planning• Continue to attract LES monies• To protect independent contractor status• NHSE Five Year View : Specialist Community Providers
