Save Our GP Surgery in Borth, Ceredigion.

Borth surgery has provided excellent primary care to the people of North Ceredigion for decades.  The surgery for many years has been supported by two partners.  Currently Dr Sue FISH is the sole General Practitioner partner at the surgery.  Despite the surgery employing several other health professionals, the current contracts require a GP to be available Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:30pm.  The practice has advertised for a new partner for a number of years, without success.  Dr Fish is likely to retire later this year.  By law, she will then have to return the contract for providing GP services in our area to Hywel Dda University Health Board.  HDUHB will then decide what should happen to the practice and its patients. 

 

We strongly request that HDUHB enter urgent, meaningful discussions the community to ensure the continuation of locally accessible General Practitioner and other community services closer to home for the current and future patients of Borth Surgery.

 

The ramifications of a reactive, poorly thought-out solution are far broader and serious than just for the community of Borth and its visitors.  This is the opportunity for HDUHB to lead the way in providing an innovative model for the provision of primary care in a rural setting. A model that is collaborative, well planned and that works for all concerned.
