From 1st April 2020 Bridge View Medical Group and Dr Weatherhead & Associates will merge. You should have received letters informing you of this change. We will be adopting the name of Bridge View Medical Group and on telephoning the Practice this is how your call will be answered.
If you see a GP or Nurse on a regular basis this will not change, you may continue to see the clinician you are familiar with. However, the merger will provide more choice and a better range of appointment times.
NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice. All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working in this practice in the last full financial year was £35,061 before Tax and National insurance. This is for zero full time GPs, four part time GPs and zero locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.

This practice is taking part in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA).
The NDA collects information about diabetes care from GP practices and hospitals and is used to help the NHS to improve care for patients with diabetes.
It is managed by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), working with Diabetes UK and Public Health England.
The information that the audit collects is controlled by law and strict rules of confidentiality.
The NDA only uses information about your diabetes care that is already recorded. For example, type of diabetes, latest blood pressure result and results of HbA1c, or eye screening tests. The NDA is not a research project. No extra blood tests, appointments or scans are needed.
You can choose not to take part if you have any concerns.
If you do not want your information to be used, please inform the receptionist, your GP or nurse. They will make sure that this is noted on your medical records, so your information is not included. This will not affect your care in any way.
A patient leaflet, with more information, can be found at http://www.hscic.gov.uk/media/15870/Leaflet—Information-for-People-With-Diabetes/pdf/Patinfo_CoreAudit_leaflet_FINAL2.pdf
