GP Federations became popular among English general practitioners after 2010 as a means to exploit the opportunities—or mitigate the threats—posed by the Five Year Forward View proposals in the English NHS which envisaged delivering primary care at a larger scale than the traditional GP list.

Some, but by no means all, clinical commissioning groups have given financial support to encourage the formation of federations.
