Medicus Health Partners is in its 3rd year, offering patients in Enfield healthcare services now across 14 locations and 15 practices. We have been working hard in the background to ensure our registered patients can go to any Medicus site, to get advice, support or attend appointments. Our staff also support the sites when cover for sickness and holidays are needed, as we are now working to the same policies and procedures this is much easier.
We have set up services in certain sites so our patients can attend appointments locally, and not have to travel to hospitals – we now offer Micro suction for ear wax, Joint injections, anti-coagulation clinics as a few examples. We all work within Enfield Unity PCN to offer other services within the community and work together to share resources, learning and support within the PCN.
The next step to enhance our connectivity and streamline some of our processes, and this will include some back-office upgrades and slight changes to the way the practices are organised and linked with the NHS. We will move from being 15 NHS contracts working within a Super Partnership to being 1 Super Partnership contract.
