From March 12, 2025, the management of The Tollgate Practice is going to change. This is because the partners have announced their intention to withdraw from the practice and to hand their contract back to the NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB), the organisation which manages GP contracts.
At this time, a new caretaker provider will be appointed on a short-term basis to deliver primary care services at the practice. Once the new interim provider is in place, the ICB will then work to identify a provider to deliver services over the longer-term.
Patients registered with this practice should not see any change or difference in the way services are accessed during the interim arrangement. You should continue to access the practice at in the usual way.
The local NHS is committed to ensuring patients continue to receive quality services that are accessible and meet their needs.
The ICB would like to acknowledge the work carried out by the previous partners whilst holding the contract over recent years.
