Peninsula Practice needs to grow.
Across the country GP surgeries are facing increasing challenges in maintaining the quality of NHS services they provide.
The Peninsula Practice has always been forward planning and in order to maintain a strong and sustainable service, we want to be pro-active in order to safeguard the outstanding service we provide to you.
With this in mind we are taking the opportunity to expand our practice area to Aldeburgh in 2020*.
Aldeburgh Surgery (Church Farm), are in consultations with Peninsula Practice to join as one larger Practice who will provide a full service to the whole population under the name of The Peninsula Practice. There are no current plans to close any of the surgeries/ branch sites.
The intention is to embrace the qualities of both The Peninsula and Aldeburgh GP surgeries, combine the services offered, share the skills and expertise of all staff across all sites, ensure capacity of staff, and journey together with all our patients to provide a safe, effective, responsive and well led service.
We would like to reassure you that this is a positive and exciting opportunity with the driving motivation being the development of a robust, resilient and sustainable service, and at its core a compassionate provider of patient centred care.
We invite your comments on this proposal as we go out to public consultation during July and August 2019 and would be happy to receive them by the following means:
