Patient and Stakeholder Proposed Merger Engagement Questionnaire

GP Practice Merger Proposal - Consultation Engagement is suspended until further notice, thank you for all your responses to date. We will perform a new patient engagement process in the near future.

Your surgery would like to merge with the four practices listed below. By working together as one practice, we believe this will help us to provide improved access and clinical care. We have been working together sharing our values and commitment to high quality clinical care over the past 2-3 years. This has been a hugely helpful and learning experience resulting in innovations such as Docly and better care planning for the more vulnerable of our patients. The 'new' practice would still have the same surgeries, same doctors - pooling their management and clinical teams would offer greater resilience and deliver a wider set of innovative services closer to patients. Our patients would have the choice to receive care across the merged practice sites.
We would like to hear what you think about this proposal.
