About Us

The Croydon GP Collaborative (CGPC) is a forward thinking and passionate independent GP Federation created by 55 practices and covers over 400,000 patients.

The Croydon GP Collaborative (CGPC) was formed in 2015 in response to the growing need for change and collaborative working within General Practice and our One Croydon Alliance system partners.  It aims to become a positive force within the local health and social care system that can transform the way services are provided to the local population.

What we do

The Croydon GP Collaborative (CGPC) have a longstanding history of running numerous high-quality and patient-centred services. These have been commissioned though either Croydon Health Services, NHS England, ICBs (formerly CCGs), Local Authority, Royal Marsden and Partners, PCNs and Practices. 

Alongside our operational activities, working at scale, and acting in the best interests of our member practices has always been a priority for The Croydon GP Collaborative (CGPC)

Over the past 10 years we have constantly reviewed our organisation and evolved to ensure we remain a relevant and agile organisation that can step up in an ever-changing landscape.  Having recently reviewed our response to the NHS 10 Year Plan we have made a significant change to our business model. 

The Croydon GP Collaborative (CGPC) will now focus purely on being in the right conversations, ensuring information and funding flows to our members and we be that vehicle which unites general practice.  Being a trusted organisation of providers, in an overarching structure will increase efficiency and ensure Practices remain viable and sustainable.
