The contract, which will be undertaken in partnership with St Mary’s Medical Centre in Oldham, will involve dedicated GP sessions for the residents of Medlock Court from Monday to Saturday and home visiting 24-7. The service will be supported by a telephone advice line and support system, which will be accessed via a dedicated phone number.
David Beckett, chief executive of gtd healthcare, said we are delighted to have won this contract and are looking forward to providing a robust GP service for the residents of Medlock Court.
"The service provision at Medlock Court will include a core team of GPs who will have dedicated weekly sessions within specified times to ensure the residents’ needs are fully met,” he said.
