Barnburgh Surgery to join The New Surgery

Posted by: charlottefagan - Posted on:

Barnburgh Surgery are planning to officially merge with The New Surgery Mexborough, after working closely together for more than 7 years.  We are confident that becoming one practice will improve access to services and the patient experience.

The aim of joining the practices is to provide patients from both practices with a seamless service.  We can only see this as a positive step while ensuring Barnburgh Surgery has a secure future in the village.

We passionately believe the key patient principles and benefits to the joining are:

  • Patients are at the heart of our journey: the merger provides positive benefits for patients at both practices and offers greater flexibility and increased scope for care.
  • Better overall experience of accessing services for patients from both practices. Greater location choice for patient appointments, ones living nearer alternate surgeries will have the benefit of improved access.
  • Access to a greater range of services for Barnburgh patients.
  • Provide financial security through economies of scale – reduce amount of duplication undertaken on everyday tasks.
  • Greater range of staff and skills available to all patients – e.g. sexual health services, female health, minor operations.
  • A larger primary care team working together means we are better placed to offer an improved service.
  • Delivering a greater range of clinical expertise and the merge will broaden the medical and surgical skill mix.  Ensuring services should be co-ordinated and delivered as close to home as possible. 

We welcome your opinion
