It has come to our attention that NHS England is threatening to close this surgery (formerly known as (Om Sai Clinic) within months due to one of the partners dissolving the contract for GP services against the wishes of his fellow partners, staff and most importantly the 6000 patients signed up here.
This will have devastating impact on many patients including vulnerable and elderly members of our community. It is completely unfair that the actions of one GP should have a severely detrimental effect on the very existence of this surgery and its wider community – many of which have been members of this practice for over 20 years.
We ask that The Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England consult with the practice’s patients in order to see if an amicable solution can be found before making a decision of this magnitude. Earl’s Court Medical Centre (previously Om Sai Clinic) has been a vital part of our community for nearly 50 years and we cannot afford to lose this hugely important provision of local healthcare.
The practice’s patients are very much dependent on this Centre and are happy with the high quality of service that they receive. The location is excellent being situated next to Earls Court Underground Station, easy parking, close to bus links, the A4 and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.
A decision like this should not be imposed on us when a huge majority of people associated with the practice including staff and patients strongly oppose any possible closure. There are no similar facilities near here and no comparable service. Patients feel safe, comfortable and reassured here even at times of great stress and worry for them.
The closure of this surgery would result in the displacement of thousands of patients that would need to be relocated elsewhere, putting severe strain on neighbouring GP surgeries. This is not in the interests of NHS service provision in this part of London which is already facing huge pressures in dealing with demand.
We are therefore asking for your support in petitioning against the possible closure of this surgery. Please indicate your support and comments below.
Many thanks,
Members of My Earls Court Medical Centre Patient Participation Group
