Lincolnshire GP Surgery Shut Down Over Registration Issues
20 Feb
Summary
- GP surgery in Navenby and Waddington closed unexpectedly.
- Closure due to removal of Care Quality Commission registration.
- NHS working to reopen the practice, no reopening date given.
The Cliff Villages Medical Practice, serving Navenby and Waddington, has unexpectedly ceased operations, leaving residents without a local GP. This abrupt closure is attributed to the removal of its Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration, a mandatory requirement for providing NHS services. The CQC registration was reportedly removed due to administrative reasons.
Currently, there is no estimated date for the practice's reopening. The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has stated that the closure is temporary and is actively working with the medical practice to resolve the issues and enable it to resume services. Patients have been informed that postponed appointments will be rescheduled, and ordered medications can still be collected.
In case of urgent health needs, patients are advised to contact NHS 111, emergency services (999), or a pharmacist. The practice has assured patients that they are still committed to their care and will provide updates as information becomes available. Patients are also advised that they do not need to register with a new practice at this time.
