Healthwatch Surrey were made aware of service provision concerns amongst some patients at The Molebridge Practice following a change in ownership arrangements. Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) were keen to know more about these concerns and to offer some reassurance to patients. They therefore commissioned Healthwatch Surrey to engage with local residents and to provide information and signposting related to the departure of Aspire Medical Health and new arrangements.

Our engagement teams visited both practice sites (The Molebridge Practice has sites in Fetcham and Leatherhead), as well as other local community settings: the Community Fridge at St Mary’s Church, Fetcham; The Meeting Room and the Leatherhead Community Hub (café and community fridge). We engaged with over 70 people (71), talking to them about their experiences and concerns and signposting to reliable sources of further information.

From the engagement events that Healthwatch Surrey organized we gathered insights from people living in the catchment area for The Molebridge Practice. The insights have been organized under a number of themes as follows:

  • Engagement with Healthwatch Surrey
  • Communications about the changes
  • Accessing the practice changes
  • Quality of service delivery
  • Service continuity
  • Ongoing concerns.

I was going to leave the practice but hearing from you has put my mind at rest so I'll stick to it. I don't want to go into detail but it's been awful the last few months but if they're going to make things better and stay open I'll stay where I am now.
