OHP – Drayton Medical Centre is part of the provider at scale organisation Our Health Partnership (OHP).
Our Health Partnership (OHP) currently consists of 189 partners across 37 practices providing care and treatment to approximately 359,000 patients. The provider has a centralised team to provide support to member practices in terms of quality, finance, workforce, business planning, contracts and general management, whilst retaining autonomy for service delivery at individual practices. OHP also provides a mechanism by which practices can develop ideas to support the sustainability of primary medical services and provide a collective voice to influence change in the delivery of services locally and nationally.
OHP added OHP – Drayton Medical Centre as a location to their registration in September 2017.
OHP Drayton Medical Practice is located within a primary care centre and shared with community services. The practice is a training practice for GP Registrars and medical students. The practice is based across two floors, there is a lift to the first floor with wheelchair access to all areas and toilet facilities on both floors. The practice is part of the NHS Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The provider is registered with CQC to deliver the Regulated Activities; diagnostic and screening procedures, maternity and midwifery services and treatment of disease, disorder or injury.
The practice holds a General Medical Services (GMS) contract with NHS England. A GMS contract is a contract between NHS England and general practices for delivering general medical services and is the commonest form of GP contract.
The practice operates from OHP Drayton Medical Practice, Maer Lane, Market Drayton, Shropshire TF9 3AL.
At the time of the inspection there were approximately 17,500 patients of various ages registered and cared for at the practice. The practice provides GP services in an area considered of average deprivation within its locality. Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources of all kinds, not just financial. The patient age profile is mainly comparable to local and national averages. The practice population is predominantly white with a higher percentage of unemployment levels and patients with long-term health conditions compared with local and national averages. Life expectancy at the practice for patients is 78 years for males and 83 years for females, which is comparable to the national average.
The practice team includes 11 GP Partners, nine practice nurses (including a nurse manager), two health care assistants, two phlebotomists, a practice manager, a management assistant, a reception manager, IT supervisor, reception and administrative staff.
The practice is open from 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. When the practice is closed patients are directed towards the out of hours provider via the NHS 111 service. The practice provides a range of services to include some Directed Enhanced Services, for example, minor surgery, childhood vaccination and immunisations.
