Operose Health, who manage the Flying Scotsman Health Centre, Doncaster, has moved to new ownership under the HCRG Care Group. HCRG Care Group is UK based and owned, and is of one the UK’s largest community health and care service providers.

The new ownership will not change the way the practice is managed. Patients will still be seen by the same doctors, nurses, and administration teams as they are now and should continue to contact and use the surgery as normal.

NHS South Yorkshire has been kept fully up to date about the changes and is assured that there will be no impact on patient care. Although this is very much business as usual for the practice teams, it was important that patients were made aware of the change of ownership and had an opportunity to ask any questions.

The Practice informed their patients through posters in waiting rooms, access to information in other languages, easy read documents, and engagement with the Patient Participation Group. Patients were also invited to contact the Doncaster Primary Care team with any questions or feedback.
