Talk:Modality Partnership

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... The contents are all referenced from respectable independent sources. You will see that I have removed a number of promotional edits from ModalityPartnership. 'This is an NHS general practice. Advertising is not permitted - nor required. It has been mentioned as a significant organisation in several official UK government publications and by the then Prime Minister. If someone thinks it is promotional please expalain which part of the article you consider to be promotional.Rathfelder (talk) 18:07, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, the G11 template specifically says "In its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic." Neither criterion seems to apply here. I don't think that when Rathfelder created the article, they only did so to promote the subject. I also don't think it would require a fundamental rewrite in order to be encyclopedic - besides a few promotional words, it appears to be worded encyclopedic enough that G11 does not apply. I've removed the CSD template from the page for now.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 18:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you. The rather gushing descriptions come from independent sources. Probably because they are reporting on plans and ambitions rather than delivery. Rathfelder (talk) 18:40, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Updates to Modality Partnership Article (2025)

Hello,

I have a declared professional connection to Modality Partnership and would like to propose factual updates to improve the article’s accuracy, chronology, and neutrality. All information below is based on publicly available, verifiable sources such as NHS publications, university press releases, and independent healthcare media.

Updated Overview

The article currently lists Modality’s size as 400,000 patients (2018).

Proposed update: As of 2025, Modality Partnership provides NHS primary and community care services to approximately 500,000 registered patients across England. The organisation began in 2009, when GP practices in Birmingham (90,000 patients) came together to form one of the first UK “super-partnerships.”

Chronological Expansion (2009–2025)

To improve readability and accuracy, I propose updating the "Expansion" section to reflect the full, chronological development of the partnership.

Expansion timeline:

• April 2017 – Hull (57,000 patients)
• June 2017 – Wokingham Medical Centre (29,000 patients)
• October 2017 – Airedale, Wharfedale & Craven (87,000 patients)
• April 2018 – East Surrey (44,000 patients)
• July 2018 – Lewisham (36,000 patients)
• July 2019 - Walsall (68,000 patients)
• April 2019 – Mid Sussex (30,000 patients)
• October 2022 – Haydock Medical Centre (17,000 patients)
• October 2024 – Old Whint Road Surgery merged to form Modality St Helens (5,000 patients)
• January 2024 – Wellspring Surgery, Nottingham (11,000 patients) joined, followed by Windmill Surgery (11,000 patients) in June 2024 to form Modality Nottingham
• Mid-2025 – Wayside Surgery (5,700 patients) merged with Modality East Surrey
• November 2025 – Leighton Road Surgery, Leighton Buzzard (20,000 patients) joined Modality

This brings the total registered population to approximately half a million patients.

Regional practices include:

• Airedale, Wharfedale & Craven: Cross Hills Group, Farfield Group, Fisher Medical Centre, Haworth Medical, Holycroft, Kilmeny Group, Long Lee, Oakworth, Silsden, and Steeton Surgeries.
• Hull: Alexandra Health Care Centre, West Hull Health Hub, New Hall Surgery, Diadem Medical Practice.
• Wokingham: Wokingham Medical Centre, Burma Hills Surgery.
• Lewisham: Bellingham Green Surgery, South Lewisham Group Practice, The Jenner Practice.
• East Surrey: Smallfield Surgery, Townhill Medical Practice, Birchwood Medical Practice, Wayside Surgery.
• Mid Sussex: Crawley Down Health Centre, Judges Close Surgery, Park View Health Partnership, Ship Street Surgery.
• Walsall: Kingfisher Berkley, Collingwood, Modality Darlaston, Forrester Street, Harden Blakenall, Keys, New Invention, Pleck, St John’s.
• Nottingham: Wellspring Surgery, Windmill Surgery.
• Birmingham: Black Country Family Practice, Bellevue, Modality Birmingham (merged), Enki Medical Practice, Handsworth Wood, Laurie Pike, Hillcrest, Mirfield, Smethwick.
• Haydock / St Helens: Haydock Medical Centre, Old Whint Road Surgery.
• Leighton Buzzard: Leighton Road Surgery.

CQC Updates (2025)

In February 2025, Modality Mid Sussex was reinspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and, following an improvement plan, was rated Good in all areas (report published September 2025). Subsequent CQC inspections also rated St John’s Medical Centre (Walsall) as Good, while Black Country Family Practice (Birmingham) and Wellspring Surgery (Nottingham) sites were inspected in July and October 2025 with results pending.
