Dear Patient,

Over the next 6 months there will be a number of important changes to primary care services in the Bridlington area.

In Bridlington, there are currently five GP practices:

• Field House Surgery which is run by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust (HTFT).
• Humber Primary Care (previously Manor House and Practice 2) which is run by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust (HTFT).
• Practice One which is currently being run by Practice Three acting in a caretaker capacity.
• Practice Three which is run by Drs Nunn, Reddy & Reddy.
• Wolds View which is run by City Health Care Partnership CIC (CHCP).

As a result of contractual arrangements within the NHS, Field House Surgery, Practice One and Wolds View surgery are expected to cease operating under their current arrangements from Friday 31 March 2023.

We would like to reassure you that work is underway to ensure that everyone is safely and securely transferred over either to Practice Three or Humber Primary Care with no disruption to the care and treatment you’re currently receiving.

We understand that some patients may be concerned to hear this news. You do not need to do anything now.

This is a managed change which requires careful planning, and we are still working on some of the detail. However, we will be taking you with us throughout this journey, keeping you up to date with our plans and progress. Over the coming months, patients or households registered with Field House Surgery, Practice One and Wolds View will be contacted with details of what you need to do and when. Until then, please continue to contact your current practice for appointments in the usual way, either by telephone, online or your NHS App.

In the meantime, we have compiled several questions and answers which will hopefully help you understand the reasons behind these changes and reassure you that your care and treatment will not be affected. Click here to read the FAQs.

We are also planning virtual or face to face public sessions to ensure that you are fully informed about the upcoming changes and can give us your views on how we can make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone as we progress these plans. More details about these will follow once available.
