Lynwood Medical Centre is delighted to announce that our practice is now officially registered as a Safe Surgery with Doctors of the World UK. This significant accreditation underscores our unwavering commitment to providing inclusive and equitable healthcare for all, regardless of their immigration status, background, or personal circumstances.
The Safe Surgeries initiative, championed by Doctors of the World UK, aims to ensure that everyone living in the UK can access primary healthcare without fear or discrimination. By becoming a Safe Surgery, Lynwood Medical Centre pledges to:
- Ensure no patient is refused registration or appointments due to their immigration status or lack of identification.
- Provide a welcoming and accessible environment for all members of our community.
- Uphold the principle that everyone has a right to healthcare.
Dr Gurmeet Singh states:
We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a Safe Surgery. This registration formalizes our long-standing commitment to inclusive healthcare. We believe that everyone deserves access to vital medical services, and this initiative helps us to further break down barriers to care within our community.
This partnership with Doctors of the World UK reinforces our dedication to patient welfare and community health. We encourage anyone in need of primary care to register with us, assuring them of a safe, confidential, and respectful environment.
