UPDATED STATEMENT OF PURPOSE!

Please find our latest Statement of Purpose here SOP

Baldwins Lane Surgery is now part of the

Grand Union Primary Care Network (GUPCN). 

The GUPCN is a group of surgeries that work together, to share resources and skill sets to deliver healthcare to their patients at scale. The GUPCN also employs healthcare professionals to work across the GUPCN. 

The surgeries in the GUPCN are Baldwins Lane Surgery,

New Road Surgery, Garston Medical Centre and Bridgewater  Surgeries.

Projects we have done so far include: 

Coronavirus vaccination clinics, Falls Clinic and education sessions, Cardiac Prehab education event and employed a Clinical Pharmacist!

In this years national GP patient survey we scored at or above national average on every aspect that was looked at. https://gp-patient.co.uk/practices/E82049

Now every patient in our surgery has a NAMED ACCOUNTABLE GP

What is the named GP requirement?

This is a contractual requirement and builds on the 2014-2015 agreement to provide a named and accountable GP for over 75s. The named GP requirement has now been extended to all patients. By 31 March 2016 all practices will need to include on their website reference to the fact that all patients, including children have been allocated a named, accountable GP.

Will practices have to write to patients to tell them their named GP?

There is no requirement to write to any patients regarding their named GP. Practices are required to inform patients of their named GP at the next appropriate interaction and it is for practices to decide what is appropriate.

If you don't know who is your named GP, please ask from reception. If you want to change your named GP, please ask reception staff. Please be aware that this does not affect your ability to make an appointment with any of the GPs in the Practice of your choosing.

New health data has been added to the surgery website, take a look at "Self Help"
