What is Practice Based Commissioning?
Gleadless Medical Centre is an active member of the Central Sheffield Consortium of practices.
This means that we work closely with 27 other practices in this area
of Sheffield to look at inventive and exciting new ways of delivering
health care to our patients using a commissioning process. This can mean
offering completely new services delivered by trained and familiar
medical and nursing staff that would previously have been offered at
hospitals. There are obvious advantages to patients in terms of being
treated closer to home but there are also cost savings for the primary
health care community, freeing up resources to put back in to more
patient care schemes.
Some exciting new projects coming soon as a result of all this work
include:
- Local Diabetes Care
- Investigations into Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) at your surgery
- Improving obstetric care
- Ear Nose and Throat Clinics
- ScriptSwitch, to deliver safer more cost effective prescribing of medications for our patients.
