Why Us

Why this is good for patients

Stronger GP Services in Your Area

HMR GP Federation brings GP practices across Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale together to work as one. This helps keep local GP services strong, stable and able to meet patient needs now and in the future.

Better Care Through Working Together

When GP practices work together, they can share skills, knowledge and resources. This helps improve the quality and consistency of care patients receive across the borough.
