GP Healthcare Alliance is a company, originally formed as a GP federation, made up of 18 practices in Castle Point, Rochford and Rayleigh, Essex. We work together to provide healthcare for all practices and patients. All practice members remain independent contractors but work collaboratively to improve healthcare services within our area.

We provide a range of primary care and community services to our local residents, various ‘at scale services’ for practices, as well as providing professional staff training. We meet nationwide challenges with local knowledge and expertise, tailoring our services to reflect the needs of the communities in which we work.

We will develop new services where we believe we can improve the patient experience and deliver efficiency savings to the NHS. We work with local NHS clinicians in the delivery of the services, thereby supporting the retention of strength and depth within the local NHS clinical teams.
