We are a training practice looking after a list of 8850 patients over two sites, dispensing to 65% of them. The 3 partners are supported by a growing fantastic multidisciplinary team comprising 4 salaried GPs, 2 nurse practitioner, 2 practice nurses, 1 associate practitioner, a HCA and a phlebotomist. In addition, we have our GP trainees. Through our Primary Care Network, we have a physician associate, a share of three mental health practitioners, a first contact physiotherapist, care home paramedic and a share of a pharmacist and three pharmacy technicians. We are all a friendly and supportive bunch!
We triage all appointment requests using Klinik. We do 12 consultations in the morning and afternoon surgeries and an equal share of duty sessions. There is protected time for pathology results processing. Home visits are rare and are shared amongst the clinical team allowing us to offer excellent care to our palliative and most frail housebound patients without being overburdensome. We provide Enhanced Access to General Practice services on a shared rota.
We have a weekly MDT with the whole clinical team which is a great time to come together for patient care and personal learning. We hold a three-monthly protected half-day clinical governance/educational meeting for all staff.
In Feb 2022 we were rated as good by the CQC in all areas. We have modern high-quality premises and we are one of two members of the proactive and flourishing North Kerrier West Primary Care Network.
