On Friday 15th January 2016, BrisDoc began its management of Northville Family Practice.
This is a great opportunity for BrisDoc to expand our in-hours Primary Care Services, and we are very much looking forward to working together to provide an excellent service to the patients in South Gloucestershire.
The BrisDoc Community Fund teamed up with ‘Keep Bristol Warm’ on the weekend of December 6th , donating and handing out 34 rucksacks for the homeless, fully loaded with warm clothes, hats, gloves, toiletries, food, torches, socks, underwear, thermal vests and more! We also donated 30 sleep mats and 3 sleeping bags.
Another year, another fun filled children’s party!
What do you get if you cross 57 excitable children, a bubble machine, a magic show and visit from a guy in red suit?? ……….. A fantastic children’s party!
We’re pleased to announce, BrisDoc has been awarded the contract to manage Northville Family Practice and will begin our operation there on 15th January 2016! More news and info to follow.
The team at Broadmead Medical Centre are passionate about the care of vulnerable patients within our community.
Our wonderful Nursing team make regular visits to hostels and homeless shelters around the city including The Foyer (for single, homeless people aged 16-21), Phoenix House (for homeless women) and Ron Jones House (which provides short term housing and support to 42 people aged 22 to 65 years).
The BrisDoc’s Professional Line has been awarded the ‘Innovation Prize 2015’ from The Royal College of Psychiatrists.
The BrisDoc Community Fund began four years ago when a number of BrisDoc employees united around a desire to do something to help disadvantaged groups within our local community as well as in the developing world, and the idea of BrisDoc becoming the platform which could give the necessary energy and resources.
When first commissioned in 2009, BMC was designed for a list growing to 6000 registered patients. In 2013 it was obvious we were growing beyond this so we asked Boots for more space. It has taken 2 years of negotiations but finally we have the much needed extra rooms. BMC now has circa 7,500 patients on the list and with the new student year, 30 more a week joining – so this has come just in time!
BrisDoc is now using Velopost for all Bristol postcode mail sent from Head Office and BMC. This means that from now on, if you live in the Bristol area you may receive your payslip or any other BrisDoc post from a postie on a bike!
On the 21st of April BrisDoc's brand new GPST (GP support team) opened its doors to referrals from the North Bristol Trust area, and also started seeing primary care appropriate patients in the Emergency Department in Southmead hospital.
