BANES Enhanced Medical Services (BEMS)
BANES Enhanced Medical Services are a not-for-profit General Practice Federation. They work across the community to provide high quality clinical services as well as supporting their members who include local GPs, Practice Managers, staff, patients, and the public.
Services include the Covid Medicine Delivery Unit, Dermatology Clinics, DVT Diagnostics, Enhanced Access Services, Fracture and Soft Tissue Clinics, Image Taking Hubs, Respiratory Hubs and providing GPs for the local Urgent Care Centre.
Beyond the provision of clinical services, as a GP Federation, they offer a range of support services to member Practices and actively participate in important system-level meetings, which allows them to represent primary care perspectives and advocate for the needs of the community.
They work to support General Practice to prepare for the challenges ahead in terms of higher patient clinical need, moving services from hospital into the community and helping practices working more closely together.
This collaborative effort is key to building resilient, healthy communities and improving overall public health outcomes, to ensure that primary care remains at the forefront of these transformative changes.
