As the NHS undergoes vast structural change, DMC Healthcare has a wealth of experience in transforming patient services in order to bring care closer to home. We understand that not every community is the same and have subsequently developed and designed highly successful services that meet evolving patient needs.
We offer services and consultancy across the following core areas:
GPs and GP consortia – removing the burden of management and improving working life
Secondary care services – freeing up secondary care to focus on more complex problems
Wider services – improving patient choice through the development of new services
Having built strong relationships with PCTs and been actively involved in practice based commissioning, we understand the mechanics of GP contracting and what GPs need to do to make the transition to consortia seamless. We offer:
Succession planning – We can ensure that rural GPs are replaced in a timely manner without loss of effectiveness
Partnerships for larger practices – We will take on the burden of management, create a supported clinical environment in which you can work
Improving performance for ailing practices – We can enhance practice performance for those practices ‘under threat’ due to their size
We run secondary care services to provide better access to care and relieve the pressure on secondary care providers so that they can focus on more complex problems. We have recently introduced:
Ophthalmology clinics – bringing eye care to the doorstep of patients
Cardiology diagnostics – ECG monitoring for longer-term communal health
Neurology services – Advice and treatment on a variety of headache conditions
