As many of you are aware Swadlincote Primary Care Network (the collaboration of all 5
Swadlincote GP surgeries) have been working hard to provide opportunity for an increased
capacity of services for our patients over the last year or so. Central to this has been the
acquisition of a Ragsdale House in Woodville.
It has clinical rooms and facilities for various health care professionals to offer extra services
and appointments. All of this has been done by the 5 GP surgeries working closely together
for the benefit of everyone in our area. From the 1st of November, for certain services you may be offered an appointment at Ragsdale House rather than your own surgery.
The first service that will be commencing on 1st November are appointments catering for
minor illnesses during normal surgery opening hours. These appointments will be offered by
our team of experienced paramedics and advance nurse practitioners. Supported by
supervising GPs. Some of you will be familiar with our team as they currently offer
appointments based at individual surgeries. This is a service by appointment only (no walk-in
services).
