We operate out of 5 sites across the local area and deliver general medical services to c54,000 patients. Formed in 2016/17 by established legacy practices in the town, we are fortunate to be a single at scale provider in a distinct geographical area and as such were able to establish the Primary Care Network (PCN) for Morecambe and Heysham in July 2019, with Bay Medical Group as the only Practice in the PCN. 

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do. We have been successfully diversifying our workforce over the past few years and developing pathways which enable our patients to see the right person, at the right time in the right place. As a Practice and PCN we work closely with our Integrated Care Community and other local health, social care and third sector providers to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population.
