APMS - Graham Road Surgery and Horizon Health to NHS BNSSG ICB

Description

The practices are situated in extremely deprived areas Weston Super Mare. Providers are expected to take note of this and demonstrate in their bids how the services to be provided will reflect this and reduce health inequalities. Background information on local demography and local strategies are set out in the ITT. Providers may supplement this with their own research/local knowledge. The BNSSG Integrated Care Board (ICB) published its Integrated Care Strategy in 2023 and its Joint Forward Plan in May 2023, which set out a bold ambition for a primary care of the future. Primary care faces significant challenges including, but not limited to, patient access and experience, workload and demand, workforce and estates.
