A popluar Bridlington Medical practice has announced that both partners have agreed to dissolve the business partnership form March 31
In a social media posting, put out by Practice One at the Bridlington Medical Centre based on Station Avenue, a statement says:
‘Both GP Partners at Practice One have agreed to dissolve their Partnership from 31.03.2022.
‘Please be assured this will not affect the services that we provide.
‘From 01.04.22 Drs Reddy and Nunn will take over the day to day running of Practice One to ensure there are enough Doctors to see patients and provide continuation of services.
‘Current telephone lines and online systems remain in place.
‘We ask patients to contact Practice One in the usual way. Thank you.’
At present it is understood two doctors head up the practice – Dr Tom Milligan and Dr Dinesh Kumar.
Doctors from Practice Three will oversee the running of Practice One to ensure a continuation of service.
A spokesperson for East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group said:
“Following an agreement between both GP partners at Practice One, Bridlington the partnership will dissolve from 31 March 2022. The CCG would like to reassure all patients that this will not affect services provided with both partners continuing to see and treat patients as they do now until 31 March 2022.
“From 1 April 2022, Bridlington based Drs Reddy & Nunn will take over the day to day running of Practice One to ensure there are enough doctors available to see and treat patients and guarantee the continuation of all services. In the meantime, both the CCG and NHS England are working together to establish a longer-term arrangement for the practice.
“All services remain in place, and we would urge patients to continue to contact the practice in their usual way.”
A separate statement on the Practice website adds:
‘NHS England and the CCG are looking to establish longer term future arrangements for the Practice which will be announced to patients in due course’
A response by Practice One to concerns on their Facebook page states:
‘I can confirm that Dr Lavery will continue to work with Practice One. Unfortunately I am unable to confirm which other GPs will be working with us, but as soon as I have any information I will let you all know.’
‘The Doctors at Practice 3, will still be at Practice 3. They will be overseeing the Doctors that will be working at Practice 1. The current Nursing and Administration staff will remain at Practice 1.’
Several patients have contacted the Echo asking what will happen to their medical care and appointments in future, with some worried that they would have to change doctors or be asked to register elsewhere.
The Echo has made numerous attempts both yesterday and today to contact Practice One for a statement.
