Residents in Bulwell have been given an update about the closure of a GP practice, which will lead to a merger of around 10,000 patients.
Springfield Medical Centre, situated in Main Street, will see patients for the final time on March 31 as its partners, Dr and Mrs Mohindra retire.
The decision was made last year to move the practice's 2,529 patients to the Practice St Albans and Nirmala, which cares for 7,349 patients and is less than 500 metres away.
All patients received notification of the merger in October 2021.
However, patients and doctors have expressed concerns over the move, with the chief of the Local Medicine Committee telling a CCG committee last year that GPs had "big concerns" over the expansion of St Alban's US owners, Operose.
Patients also wrote in questioning the surgery's quality of care.
However, Vicky Gavin, practice manager at the Practice St Albans and Nirmala, said the team was "ready to look after everyone".
“We are really looking forward to welcoming Springfield patients in April," she said.
"I know some patients may be worried about changing GP practices, but the team here is ready to look after everyone."
Ms Gavin also pointed towards the practice's 'Good' rating by the CQC as well as a recent £200,000 investment into its expansion.
A spokesperson for NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG added: “We are satisfied that The Practice St Albans and Nirmala team will provide good quality care for Springfield patients.”
