Drybrook Surgery update: contract awarded

Dear Community Partner

Further to my most recent letter in May 2023, I am delighted to inform you that NHS Gloucestershire has now completed the procurement process for the Drybrook Surgery general medical services contract and has successfully awarded this contract to the Drybrook Partnership.

Dr Anna Raymond, along with Nurse Practitioner Katie Dyer and Practice Nurse Nichola Winstanley and their team successfully bid for this contract and will continue to run the surgery as of 1 December 2023.

I am confident that as a team, they will be able to continue to offer high quality care to patients, and I look forward to continue working with Dr Raymond and the nurses over the contract duration.

Patients should not experience changes in the way they receive primary care medical services after this date. A full range of services will continue to be provided from the current Surgery building and patients will remain on the Drybrook Surgery patient list, so do not need to take any action.

I am really pleased that that the future of Drybrook Surgery is secure.

Thank you for your support for Drybrook Surgery during these challenging times and I do hope this update is helpful to you.

Yours sincerely

Helen Goodey

Director of Primary Care and Place

NHS Gloucestershire
