Dr Bilas' Surgery, in Griffiths Drive in Ashmore, has joined The Royal Wolverhampton NHS (RWT) as part of a programme to coordinate and strengthen the healthcare services in the city.

The Vertical Integration programme, launched in 2016, brings together hospital, community and GP services in an effort to improve patient care and experience.

By investing in GP practices, the Trust can redesign services, improve the health and wellbeing of the local population and prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital.

David Loughton CBE, chief executive for RWT, said: “We want to make sure the delivery of healthcare isn’t fragmented, whether it’s with your GP, in your home or on a hospital ward, all healthcare professionals should be communicating so that patients are seen in the right place, at the right time.

“Working in partnership with GP’s and colleagues from health and social care, we can ensure a positive experience for patients as they move between us – making decisions collaboratively so the care offered is consistent and meeting their individual needs.

“I’m really pleased to welcome Dr Bilas and the team to the Trust, I look forward to working with them more closely.”

Dr Roman Bilas, added: “We are delighted to be working with RWT and I’m confident that our patients will see the benefit from this joined-up approach.

“We hope that by enhancing the relationship between the practice and the Trust, that our patients receive the appropriate care and attention, particularly now as many of them are living with multiple conditions and often require support from a number of different teams; working together is therefore paramount.”
