What we do

Berkshire West Primary Care Alliance is a GP federation (a group of practices working together within a legal form or organised entity).

Over the past 10 years the reasoning for GPs to federate has grown stronger as a means for practices to develop and tender for services, particularly out-of-hospital care. Additionally, it has enabled achievement of economies of scale within primary care services – such as back-office functions, training and development capacity.

Berkshire West Primary Care Alliance was formed in 2023 and is a collaboration of 30 NHS GP practices across three local authority areas: West Berkshire, Reading, and Wokingham, collectively known as Berkshire West.
