Formal merger of Boroughbury Medical Centre and Paston & Werrington Health Centre
We are delighted to announce that we have received approval from our Integrated Care Board (ICB) for the formal merger of Boroughbury Medical Centre and Paston & Werrington Health Centre to create a single practice and patient list across all our sites and, the relocation of Werrington Health Centre, Skaters Way, to BMC @ Werrington, Church Street
The merger of our clinical systems is anticipated to be completed on 1 May and from that date we will also have a single access telephone number, with a dedicated emergency line. We will keep you updated and informed.
The relocation to the new BMC @ Werrington, Church Street, is anticipated to take place at the beginning of July 2025
The practices will come together to build on the existing practice strengths, pooling clinical and administrative teams to offer greater resilience and a wider choice of services to our patients. The aim of this is to provide a more stable model for delivering care. Both Practices have been sharing their values and commitment to high quality clinical care over the past 18 months and now believe a full merger will help to provide improved access and choice for our patients.
The same doctors, practice nurses and staff will still be part of the new merged team. You will be able to see your chosen doctor or clinician as usual.
We see this as an opportunity for us to build a secure future for our practices. For our patients, it will mean a proactive practice able to manage and navigate the challenges of the NHS and offer the best care for our patients.
We are planning to move
As part of our Patient Engagement Strategy we are holding an Open Evening at Werrington Church Street on Wednesday 16th October 6-7pm. We are excited to show you around the new premises. All Werrington Health Centre patients are invited to attend.
ANNOUNCEMENT - Paston & Werrington Health Centre and Boroughbury Medical Centre
Following the retirement of Dr Patel and Dr Shah at the end of September 2023, after their long service and contribution to Primary Care, we are delighted to share some exciting news with you.
From the 1st October 2023, Dr Sood and the Partners of Boroughbury Medical Centre will come together to form a new Partnership for both Paston & Werrington Health Centre and Boroughbury Medical Centre.
We have been working in partnership with Boroughbury Medical Centre, as part of our Primary Care Network (PCN) since 2019 and one of the aims of our PCN is to build capacity and resilience in our Practices
Forming the new Partnership will serve to strengthen this and brings together a wealth of Clinical knowledge and Leadership and Management experience to both Practices for the benefit all of our staff and patient populations.
