Proposed merger between Links Road Surgery & Wish Park Surgery
Proposal to merge
Links Road Surgery and Wish Park Surgery have proposed plans to merge and wish to hear service user views to inform future and ongoing decision-making, including plans to close the Links Road site and for all services to be consolidated at the Wish Park Surgery site in Hove.
By combining teams, they hope to build an even stronger and more resilient team and increase the availability of an appropriately skilled clinical workforce with more appointment options, and a wider range of healthcare professionals.
In coming together, both surgeries hope to ensure the long-term delivery of safe, effective, and sustainable primary care for the local community.
Why will services be consolidated at Wish Park?
Unfortunately, the premises at Links Road Surgery have been deemed as no longer fit for purpose. Many consultations take place on the upper floor, and due to structural limitations, it is not possible to install a lift or make the necessary modifications to ensure full accessibility for all patients and staff. The Wish Park surgery is a purpose-built surgery with all rooms situated on the ground floor supporting all patients to better access their care.
What are they asking of service users?
To help them understand the impact of this proposal and to share your views by completing their anonymous patient survey. This survey will be open for the next five weeks. It will take just a few minutes and will provide valuable insight into what matters most to the local community.
