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 in their local area.

In the years since it was formed, the organisation has grown and nearly 50% of GP practices in Oxfordshire and 30% of those in Northamptonshire are associated with PML as part of the PML GP Federation.

We believe that local care providers, who know and understand the health needs of their own patients, and who are used to working collaboratively in their region, can provide the best quality and most cost effective integrated primary 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 GPs working in a similar way in other parts of the UK and competing well with other private healthcare providers for NHS contracts. The PML GP Federation is the largest collaborative group of GPs in Oxfordshire and South Northamptonshire. In total, there are about 100 GP shareholders in almost 50 GP practices.

After over a decade in business, we have a proven track record of success in delivering a diverse range of services and we are continually looking to bid for new contract opportunities and to recruit motivated and ambitious staff to join us.

“PML aims to deliver high quality community-based healthcare through an extensive network of local clinicians working together for the benefit of patients.”
