PML was founded in 2004, as a ‘not-for-profit’ organisation, by a small group of General Practitioners, with the main aim of ensuring that local NHS healthcare professionals had an opportunity to bid for, and provide, innovative primary care services, at scale, in their local area.

In the years since it was formed, the organisation has matured and grown with currently, 70% of GP practices in Oxfordshire and 22% of those in Northamptonshire, associated with the Federation.

We believe that local care providers, who know and understand the health needs of their own patients well, working collaboratively in their localities, can provide the highest quality and most cost effective integrated primary and community care services. We work to develop services we know people want and need so that patients get the best care options for their circumstances.

PML’s business model is unusual, but it is not unique. There are other GP organisations working in a similar way, in other parts of the UK and bidding for and delivering ICB, Public Health and NHS contracts successfully. The PML GP Federation is the largest collaborative group of GPs in Oxfordshire and South Northamptonshire, covering a total population of almost 800,000 patients.

After two decades in business, we have a proven track record of success in bidding for and delivering a diverse range of services and we are continually looking for innovative and new ways of working to enhance and add value to existing patient services and support to our membership. PML has a large skilled workforce, providing a range of clinical and non clinical expertise and always looking to recruit motivated and ambitious staff to join us.
