TyneHealth was founded in 2006 and became the North Tyneside GP Federation in 2014, representing all of the practices in North Tyneside.
Together with our GP members, we deliver improved health care in the community to over 215,000 residents, by bringing care closer to patients’ homes.
We work in partnership with commissioners, local hospitals, the third sector and our patients to provide community based, medically-led services.
