As GP federations across the UK face increasing pressures to deliver high-quality, integrated care, GGI is here to provide the strategic consultancy services needed to navigate complex regulatory, governance, and operational challenges.
GGI’s tailored approach helps GP federations enhance governance, align with integrated care systems, and fosters a sustainable, patient-centred primary care model.
Expert governance reviews for robust oversight and accountability
At GGI, we understand that effective governance is crucial for GP federations to achieve accountability and regulatory compliance. Our independent governance reviews assess board effectiveness, leadership structures, and decision-making processes, helping federations meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHS England standards. We provide actionable recommendations to enhance risk management, internal accountability, and strategic alignment with ICS objectives. By strengthening governance frameworks, GP federations can build the oversight needed to thrive in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
Strategic change support for sustainable and integrated care
With the shift towards integrated care, GP federations need strategic support to align their operations with ICS goals, expand service capacity, and ensure financial sustainability. GGI offers comprehensive strategic planning that helps federations make informed, future-proof decisions. Our consultants work closely with your leadership team to identify opportunities for resource optimisation, revenue diversification, and service enhancement. By developing adaptable, growth-focused strategies, GP federations can meet growing patient demand while delivering cohesive, high-quality care.
Compliance and risk management for regulatory confidence
Increased regulatory scrutiny from CQC and NHS England demands that GP Federations maintain high standards of compliance and patient safety. GGI’s compliance and risk management services help federations identify regulatory gaps, prepare for inspections, and establish monitoring frameworks for ongoing adherence. Our consultants ensure that your federation is equipped to manage risk effectively, maintain patient confidentiality, and operate with confidence under regulatory oversight.
Board and leadership development
GGI can offer bespoke board development, either in the form of individual sessions covering a specific topic or a more comprehensive programme spread out over several months. Our board development is not just about technical aspects of corporate governance, as important as they are; it’s also about maximising the skills of board members individually and collectively and enabling them to work together better for the benefit of their organisation and its service users. Another important part of GGI’s offer is individualised coaching and professional development for key people in the organisation, such as our ‘two at the top’ programme for chairs and chief executives.
GGI can help GP federations tackle some of the stickiest issues they have to contend with, including:
- coordination of services within primary care networks
- limited resources for expanding community care
- retaining and recruiting GPs and healthcare staff
- overburdened services and patient access issues
- balancing patient demand with preventive care initiatives
- financial viability of small practices
- navigating regulatory changes.
I'm delighted that we chose GGI to carry out a review of our corporate governance. Professional, responsive and flexible at all times, it was their expertise in this area that really stood out, bringing fresh insights and powerful recommendations. Implementation of the review promises to take us a big step closer to the 'well-led' organisation we aspire to be.
