The proposed coming together Harold Road Surgery and Beaconsfield Road Surgery
We are pleased to announce that Harold Road Surgery and Beaconsfield Road Surgery have applied to merge together to form a new practice later this year.
We believe that the merger is in the best interests of all of our patients and that together we will be in a stronger position to meet the needs of our patients.
We want to ensure that the patients of both practices continue to receive high quality medical care. We are now looking after patients with complex medical problems; patients with more than one long term illness as well as increasing patient expectation. We want to continue to be able to offer a personal approach to those with long term health problems as well as be able to respond to those with more urgent health needs. We feel the best way to ensure this happens is to bring together both practices so that we can, ensure our clinical teams are as well staffed as possible, share our pool of knowledge and skills, and reduce our need to rely on locum Drs who are not familiar with our patients.
Being a larger practice, we will be in a better position to provide sufficient doctors and nurses to better meet demand. The workload of a current GP Practice has increased enormously in recent years and we want to make sure that time is used most effectively.
An application has been made to NHS Sussex which will need to be approved to enable the merger to take place.
Beaconsfield Road Surgery is continuing conversations with NHS Sussex regarding opening a new branch site at Ore Clinic, 407 Old London Road, Hastings, East Sussex, TN35 5BH. This site is conveniently located close to the Beaconsfield Ore Satellite Site. There is a large car park which patients would be able to use and a bus stop is located close to the site.
