Tameside and Glossop Community Healthcare – the new name for local services

Posted: April 13, 2011 in Uncategorized

There’s a new name for community health services in Tameside and Glossop.“Tameside and Glossop Community Healthcare” was previously part of the Provider Division of Tameside and Glossop Primary Care Trust. This will be a seamless transfer and patients and public will not notice the difference, as the same dedicated NHS staff will serve them in the same local clinics and community settings.

The majority of the former Provider services, including district nursing, school nursing, health visiting, podiatry, physiotherapy, and optometry will come under the new organisation.  They will be based at the same locations they are now; clinics such as Union Street in Hyde, Ann Street in Denton, Glossop Primary Care Centre and Ashton Primary Care Centre, and will be accessed by patients in exactly the same way. The same contact numbers and e-mails will be in place, and emergency services, out of services, and complaints services will not be affected. These will be the same NHS staff providing the same trusted, quality, local and professional community healthcare that the people of Tameside and Glossop are used to.
