Creating a healthier and more sustainable future for people in Castle Point and Rochford
Castle Point and Rochford CCG are part of a group of CCGs who have announced major plans to improve GP services – and bring more doctors to mid and south Essex.
The primary care strategy aims to:
- Make it quicker and easier for patients to be seen locally by NHS professionals
- Reduce pressure on GPs so they can focus on patients with the greatest need
- Improve the recruitment of GPs and other healthcare professionals to mid and south Essex
The area we cover
Our catchment area is sub-divided into two district localities, namely Castle Point Borough Council area and Rochford District Council area. We serve a population of approximately 182,000 and approximately 22 -24% of our population are over 65, with over 75s amounting to just over 9%.
Our Vision and Values
Our vision is to create a healthier and more sustainable future for people in Castle Point and Rochford.
Our values describe how we work and the guiding principles that underpin all of our decision making processes. We are committed to behaving and working in this way in all areas of our business.
Through commissioning the right care, in the right place, we hope that over time we will see a shift from our current position where many people are acutely unwell and require complex care in hospital settings, to more people taking responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, with more care being delivered in the community and closer to patients’ homes.
