Former GP joins experts in drive to fix Bridlington’s healthcare shortage
People are being urged to attend a public meeting at Bridlington Spa Theatre this week
A former GP is joining forces with health leaders and local experts in Bridlington to tackle the growing shortage of healthcare across the town.
The move comes as concerns continue about access to doctors, nurses and other vital services for residents of the East Riding’s largest town.
Local people are being encouraged to show their support and get involved, with a public meeting set to take place at Bridlington Spa Theatre on Thursday 23rd of October. The meeting, organised by the Bridlington Health Forum alongside East Riding of Yorkshire Council, will focus on the new Bridlington Health Improvement Plan.
The event will feature presentations from key figures, including the council’s Public Health Director Andy Kingdom, Dr Simon Cox from the NHS, and Martin Barkley, Chair of Governors at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital Trust. Residents will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to those overseeing healthcare services in the area.
Organisers say the meeting will give people a voice in shaping the future of health provision in Bridlington.
