Creating stronger primary care services in the South Somerset West Primary Care Network
As you may already know, Buttercross & Ilchester Surgery, Crewkerne Health Centre: Middle Path & West One, Hamdon Medical Centre and Martock & South Petherton Surgery make up the South Somerset West Primary Care Network. All four practices are also part of the Symphony Healthcare Services (Symphony) group – a large-scale primary care and NHS provider in Somerset, and subsidiary of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
Since joining Symphony, the practice teams have been supported to implement new systems and processes to make essential improvements. As a result, all practices have maintained a ‘Good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Over the last year, our practice teams have been working increasingly closer, to provide greater support and resilience to the workforce across the four sites and to develop new innovative ways of working to help improve patient experience. We would now like to share our proposal to combine the contracts of the four practices together.
