Bridlington Primary Care Network (PCN) is hosting a drop-in event on Wednesday, 16 November 2022 from 10.30am to 1.00pm in the Sessions Room at Bridlington Spa, South Marine Drive, Bridlington YO15 3JH providing an opportunity for local residents to hear about and discuss upcoming changes to general practices. People can pop in at any time that suits them.
This follows their recent announcement about changes to General Practice in Bridlington which will see three GP practices; Field House Surgery; Practice One and Wolds View ceasing to operate with patients being transferred over to one of the two remaining practices in Bridlington; Humber Primary Care or Practice Three.
Dr Priya Reddy, Bridlington PCN Clinical Director said: “The care and safety of our patients is as always our primary concern. We want to make sure everyone affected is fully aware of the changes that are taking place and this drop-in event is one of the ways that we are doing this, along with information and Frequently Asked Questions that are available in GP practices as well as on practice websites and social media.”
“The full detail of the transfer arrangements is still being worked through and people will be directly contacted with that information at the appropriate time. This drop-in event will give people the chance to come along, talk to myself and my colleagues, ask questions and hopefully feel completely at ease, and supported with the changes.”
Due to concerns around COVID and the safety of all residents, people will be asked to consider wearing face coverings whilst attending the event. The PCN is also advising anyone wanting to come along who is displaying symptoms of COVID, to please not attend.
For people who cannot attend the event, the information that is being shared at the event is already available online at Improving primary care services in Bridlington — East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (eastridingofyorkshireccg.nhs.uk) These pages are regularly updated, so visiting frequently is recommended. Hard copies are also available in GP practices.
