The Southern GP Federation Support Unit came into existence in 2016 and supports three individual GP Federations -  Armagh & Dungannon GP Federation, Craigavon GP Federation, and Newry & District GP Federation. The Southern GP Federation Support Unit works collaboratively alongside 72 GP Practices across the province, employing approximately 160 staff across the three Federations.

 

Southern FSU has been designed to provide Federation members with support, advice and expertise in the design and delivery of service provision.  SFSU functions include central management expertise, planning, accounting, communication, corporate governance, human resources and the delivery of a range of services on behalf of Federations. The core purpose of SFSU is to ensure that clinicians are free to focus on ensuring that they provide the best clinical outcomes for their patients, while improving the quality of care that they receive.

​

SFSU is staffed by a small team who are always available to help employees with queries regarding payroll, HR matters or any other query you may have.
