Announcement - Practice Merger

Gumeracha Medical Practice and Lobethal Medical Centre are delighted to announce that from 1st February 2020, we will be combining to form one larger practice across two sites.

Why are we merging?

Individually we are both successful practices with similar, patient centred approaches to care, and a shared belief in making a continued positive difference to our patients.We feel it is the right time to take the opportunity to build and expand on our services by combining our efforts.

Business as Usual

From 1st February 2020 it will be ‘business as usual’ for our patients.All our patients from both practices will continue to access our services in exactly the same way as they do now.You will continue to ring the same telephone numbers, see and speak to the same receptionists, GPs and Nursing staff, and attend the same practice that you have always attended. Nothing will change.

What are the benefits?

1. More choice for our patients

We will be able to offer the choice of which site our patients are seen at, either Gumeracha or Lobethal. This will make it easier for you as patients to select an appointment time and location which best suits you.

1. More GPs and Nurses available to our patients

Our GP and Nursing teams all have specialist interests and additional skills. Working together will enable us to offer a wider service to all our patients.Although at present it will be ‘business as usual’, over time the two practices working closely together will increase the availability of GPs and Nurses across both practice sites.

Thank You
