Great Western Medical Practice Update

A few months ago we mentioned that there was concern in the community about the future of our local Medical Practice.

Today the Great Western Medical Practice have issued this update.

"Throughout 2022, Great Western Medical Practice (GWMP) has been exploring new ways of maintaining the general medical services we offer our patients. It is important to us that we’re able to respond to the challenges of recruitment and changing patient needs in a sustainable way.

We are delighted to say that we have secured an exciting future for our practice as part of OneMedical Group, which we will join from 1 December 2022.

OneMedical Group are an independent healthcare provider who are already established in Aberdeen as OneMedical Group Scotland, after securing the contract at Whinhill Medical Practice in March 2022.

OneMedical Group was founded on the idea that there is a better way to care for communities and it is their purpose to build a healthier future for all. People are at the heart of everything they do and they’re as passionate as we are about improving health and wellbeing. You can find out more about them at www.onemedicalgroup.co.uk

Our practice is committed to providing a high standard of care. We have been working closely with OneMedical Group for several months now to ensure a smooth transition for our staff and our patients.

As a patient of GWMP, you will remain registered with us from 1 December. You will still see the same clinical and administrative team. You will be able to book appointments the same way you do now and there will be a new, additional digital option for repeat prescriptions. Together with OneMedical Group, we are excited about what we can offer our patients in the future, as well as the development of new ways of working that will have a positive impact on our patients and our community.

You do not have to do anything in response to this letter but please feel free to contact us with any questions via our email address gram.greatwesternadministrator@nhs.scot

Thank you for your support during this time and ahead of the transition."
