Updates on GP Practice Transitions in Cottingham, Bridlington and Market Weighton

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is transitioning GP services at Market Weighton Practice, King Street Medical Centre in Cottingham, and Humber Primary Care in Bridlington to new providers due to changes in the national primary care model. Patients do not need to take any action.

Formal contracts have been finalised for two practices. These practices will formally transfer to the below providers by the end of April 2026.

- Humber Primary Care to Drs Reddy and Nunn

- King Street Medical Centre to Greengates Medical Group

A formal letter will be sent to all patients explaining the transition of these practices, confirming the new provider, and detailing registration options. 

We previously shared that The Ridings Medical Group planned to take over Market Weighton Practice from Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. After further discussions, these plans will not be going ahead. The practice will continue to operate as normal until an agreement is reached with another provider. Patients will be informed as soon as possible. They do not need to do anything, and their care will not be affected.

The transition is being carefully managed, and a communications strategy will ensure patients and stakeholders remain informed. 

This decision was made in collaboration with representatives from the Integrated Care Board and aligns with their strategy to support integrated neighbourhood care. It reflects a shared commitment to commissioning services that are sustainable, future-focused, and able to meet population health needs over the long term.

The shift of services from hospitals to community settings is also in line with the NHS long term plan and the government’s three strategic priorities for the NHS. 

This process will be carefully managed to ensure continued care. The practice services will continue to be delivered throughout.
