Creating stronger primary care services in Burnham, Berrow and Highbridge
As you may already know, both Highbridge Medical Centre and Burnham & Berrow Medical Centre are part of the Symphony Healthcare Services (Symphony) group – a large-scale primary care provider in Somerset, and subsidiary of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
Since joining Symphony, the practice teams have been supported to implement new systems and processes to make essential improvements. As a result, both practices have achieved a ‘Good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission, from the previous ‘Inadequate’ rating.
Over the last year, the practice teams have been working increasingly closer, to provide greater support and resilience to the workforce across the sites. We would now like to share our proposal to merge Burnham & Berrow Medical Centre and Highbridge Medical Centre together.
