Portakabins to increase space at Bridlington GP practice and create more appointments
Six additional clinical rooms will soon be available at a GP practice in Bridlington – a move that will mean more appointments for patients.
Drs Reddy and Nunn are taking delivery of two Portakabins at its surgery in Station Avenue.
Once fitted out, it will take the number of consulting rooms at the Practice to 42 (this includes seven rooms that the Practice occupies at Bridlington and District Hospital, which were previously occupied by Wolds View Surgery).
The Portakabins will also be used to deliver some services offered by the wider Bridlington Primary Care Network (PCN) which comprises Drs Reddy and Nunn and Humber Primary Care.
Dr Nicole Nunn, Lead GP at Drs Reddy and Nunn, said: "These purpose-built units will allow us to see more patients, provide additional services, and reduce waiting times.
"This expansion is a positive step forward for local healthcare, addressing the growing needs of our community and supporting better health outcomes."
The practice is advising people there may be some disruption while the Portakabins are being delivered on Tuesday (January 14), with restricted access for vehicles and car parking along Station Avenue.
It is envisaged the new Portakabins will be fully ready for use towards the beginning of February.
