Staffing
Of the six practices that will move fully into the hub, all staff would move too. For Radbrook Green and Mytton Oak surgeries, their staff would remain at their current location but may decide to extend some of their services into the hub.
At these early stages of development, we are not able to answer this question yet - however, once able we will share information relating to the workforce that will be available to our patients in the hub.
Presently, we see our practices occupying independent spaces within the hub and as such having their own reception and waiting area for patients. We may also have a main reception, by the entrance of the building, where people can go to ask for directions or advice.
As part of the national funding, we would receive for the development, we would also have access to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) which supports the recruitment of additional staff into general practice and help to create bespoke multi-disciplinary teams, working together in the hub. We also believe the hub would build a more resilient workforce, due to a better working environment and shared learning.
