During Winter 2020-21, NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group* involved patients and local communities in planning the future of five general practice (GP) sites in Medway.

The sites were:

  • St Mary’s Island Surgery, Chatham
  • Green Suite at Balmoral Gardens Healthy Living Centre, Gillingham
  • Twydall Clinic, Twydall Green, Gillingham
  • Pentagon Centre (Boots), Chatham
  • Sunlight Centre Surgery, Gillingham.

People were asked to share their views via:

  • surveys
  • patient interviews
  • listening events
  • focus groups (carried out by community organisations commissioned by the CCG).

The CCG used the feedback to assess possible new providers for all five sites.

People said that it was important to:

  • have a GP practice local to them
  • receive consistent care.

A panel of patients then helped select new providers for each site.
