Lakeside Healthcare based in Corby, Northamptonshire is the biggest General practice in the National Health Service with 62 partners and more than 100,000 patients. The original practice, Lakeside Surgery, was one of the largest GP partnerships in England with 47,000 registered patients in 2014, the majority of Corby Clinical Commissioning Group's population, and 22 doctors. The practice managing partner Linda Ward joined as practice manager in 1988 and became managing partner, one of the first non-clinical partners in the country. She helped develop and open Corby Urgent Care Centre. She retired in July 2014. Professor Robert Harris, former national Director of Strategy at NHS England was appointed a full-time equity partner of Lakeside Surgeries in July 2014 with plans to roll out its model of an urgent care centre to other areas as well as build the bigger, broader primary care business (see MCP below) Lakeside Healthcare is now one of the 14 Multispecialty Community Providers (MCPs) created by the Five Year Forward View which was published in 2014. Its intention is to enlarge the scope of general practice into hospitals, urgent care centres and ambulatory care, employing salaried doctors as well as other healthcare professionals - pharmacists, physcian associates and healthcare assistants as well as different grades of nurses. It will manage some short-stay community care beds and deliver some services in the community which are now operated in hospital outpatient clinics. It describes itself as a "super-practice" and claims to be offering doctors “well above” the average pay for salaried GPs. The new group was formed in July 2015 by the merger of Lakeside Surgeries with Headlands Surgery, Kettering. Rothwell and Desborough Healthcare Group, Rothwell also became an associate practice in the broader Group. St Mary’s Medical Centre, Sheepmarket Surgery and the Little Surgery in Stamford and Oundle Medical Practice agreed to join the organisation in September 2015. The work of the organisation has been welcomed by Jeremy Hunt who was quoted as saying ‘By integrating services and moving more care closer to people’s homes, we can ensure efficient spending and prevent unnecessary trips to hospital for the frail elderly and people with long-term conditions.’ Dr. Peter Wilczynski, formerly chair of Corby Clinical Commissioning Group resigned from that position to become the senior partner and Chair with Prof. Robert Harris becoming CEO of Lakeside Healthcare Group. The organisation plans to cover 300,000 patients eventually across the East Midlands region. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lakeside Healthcare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
