The Swan Practice is inviting patients to attend a drop-in session where they can ask questions and hear about future plans.
People can attend the drop-in sessions at Buckingham Community Centre, on 27 October and 2 November (12-2pm, both dates), to find out more about possible future developments and give their feedback.
For several years the practice has been working on proposals to move its two Buckingham based surgeries - North End and Verney Close - into a new, purpose-built site at Lace Hill, near the large Tesco superstore. The surgery at Steeple Claydon would not be affected by this plan.
The premises at North End and Verney Close are said to no longer be suitable for the requirements of modern general practice, and cannot meet the needs of the growing population in the Buckingham area and are already over capacity with patient numbers.
They have been described as having poor disabled access, very limited parking and are not satisfactory working environments for staff, and cannot be expanded or redeveloped to the necessary standards.
Dr George Gavriel, Executive Partner at The Swan Practice, said:
“We want as many of our patients as possible to give their views on these plans. Our goal as a GP Practice is to deliver the best possible services to our patients in an environment that is safe, comfortable and fit for the purposes of a modern general practice. Unfortunately that is no longer possible in our current premises in Buckingham.
“So, if you haven’t had the chance to tell us what you think yet, please get in touch. You can do this by post, email, an online survey, or you can come to visit us in person at one of our upcoming drop-in sessions.”
