Hartlepool and Stockton Health

Hartlepool and Stockton Health is a GP Federation. Its shareholders and members are the general practices across Hartlepool and Stockton. It supports these practices in providing access and continuity of care to patients, supports the Primary Care Networks that group practices across local neighbourhoods, and delivers larger services across Hartlepool, Stockton and wider Tees Valley. Services listed on its website include CASPeR, the Did Not Attend Project, COVID-19 Hot Clinics, a Long Covid service and COVID Oximetry @ Home.

Its customers are local GP practices, Primary Care Networks and the patients they serve, and it works with other local healthcare organisations and charities on population health. The company was founded in 2016 and has its head office in Stockton-on-Tees. Since 2016 it reports having created 30 jobs for local people at its head office. Its team includes over 400 GPs, nurses and other clinical and non-clinical professionals across its services, and 60 team members work in Primary Care Network partners under the Additional Roles scheme.

Its board consists of three GPs and one Practice Manager from member practices, elected by their peers every two years, together with a full-time Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Nursing. An Advisory Board made up of the seven Clinical Directors of the Primary Care Networks in Hartlepool and Stockton was created in 2024.
