About us
The LMA West London GP Federation (the Federation) was established in 2014 at a time when ICBs had just been formed and were beginning to undertake their new role as Commissioners. The creation of the ICB for West London led to an opportunity for GPs to come together collectively to bid for new work that was being tendered by the ICB. Local GPs supported the West London GP Federation as the organisation that could best fulfil this new opportunity.
In West London, there are five PCNs who have been operating for over 10 years. The creation of PCNs presented opportunities for the Federation to redefine the delivery of primary care at scale across West London. The Federation has the aspiration and support of its members to be the Federation of PCNs. In doing so the Federation can fulfil the role of providing a strong primary care united voice and a dynamic leadership role in the ICB, enabling the enhancement of services provided by the NHS.
