Welcome to the Family Doctor Association
The Family Doctor Association, an educational charity, is the national voice of frontline GPs and family doctor practices. Supporting our members since 1985, these are GPs and practices that offer their patients the benefits of continuity of care; the cornerstone of UK general practice. Continuity of care benefits patients, improves health outcomes and saves the NHS money.
