The management of Burton Road GP surgery in Lincoln will be provided by new innovative partnership, Universal Health Limited from today (1 July 2015).
The Burton Road Practice will be run by Universal Health Ltd, a new joint venture between Lincolnshire and District Medical Services (LADMS) and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT).
Universal Health brings together the clinical expertise of LADMS in successfully running patient-focused GP surgeries, with the back office expertise of the NHS Trust, and provides patients with access to a service that is tailored to their needs.
Dr Neal Parkes, Joint Chief Executive of Universal Health Ltd, said:
We are proud and privileged to have been given this opportunity to provide services in this practice. We are looking forward to being able to further develop what is on offer and ensuring that patient experience remains at the forefront of service delivery. This is an exciting new venture for both LADMS and LPFT, and an opportunity for us to work in partnership to provide a comprehensive and integrated primary care NHS service for patients in these areas.
Registered patients at the surgery can continue to use their practices as normal. The locations, telephone numbers for the practices, and all existing services and contact details will remain the same.
Surgeries will continue to offer the same services using a number of existing staff, but under different supervision.
