GP practice mergers: Ridgacre and Dovecote, and Northfield and St Heliers: December 2018-January 2019
Ridgacre House Surgery and Dovecote Surgery merger
During December 2018 and January 2019, the CCG held a period of engagement with patients to hear their views on their practices potentially merging with another. The results of patients feedback is currently being used in consideration of the wider proposals.
St. Helier’s Medical Practice and Dr Ali and Partners merger
The two practices have invited patient views on proposals to merge the two practices. In addition to a patient survey, patients were encouraged to share their views via their Patient Participation Groups (PPGs). Two dedicated drop-in sessions were also held to invite views at the practice. A total of 120 responses were received and will be used in the consideration of the practices intention to merge, along with wider patient feedback.
