About Bolton GP Federation
Bolton GP Federation brings together local GP practices to deliver NHS primary care at scale. Established in 2015, it acts on behalf of practices and Primary Care Networks when shared provision is needed. Services include evening and weekend appointments, community clinics through Bolton Health Hive and specialist clinical roles embedded in practices.
The federation supports six PCNs and is based at Bolton Primary Care Hub on Chorley Street. Its 2025/26 accounts report an average of 249 employees, including directors. Clinical and non-clinical teams work across local services, while the federation also leads the Greater Manchester Training Hub and supports primary care workforce development.
Supporting GP practices
The federation provides practical support alongside clinical services. This includes practice manager peer support and cover, recruitment promotion, medicines-management resources and multidisciplinary meetings to support care homes.
Developing the wider workforce
As lead employer for Greater Manchester Training Hub, the federation helps organise education and workforce support beyond its own local services. It also leads the GM Workforce Bank, which connects primary care professionals with vacant shifts across the region.
