About Castlefields Health Centre
Castlefields Health Centre is an eight-partner PMS general practice at The Village Square in Castlefields, Runcorn, serving 15,650 patients in a deprived area. It is part of Runcorn PCN, takes part in many enhanced services and is rated Good by the CQC.
The clinical team includes eight GP partners, five salaried GPs, four advanced nurse practitioners (one focused on over-75s and one on mental health), four practice nurses, healthcare assistants and an assistant practitioner, two clinical pharmacists and a community matron, with social prescribing delivered with Wellbeing Enterprises. It is a training practice, with three GP partners acting as GP trainers.
How the team works
Clinicians work as one multidisciplinary team of GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, practice nurses, healthcare assistants, clinical pharmacists, mental health practitioners and social prescribers. The practice runs a total triage model, manages chronic disease and prevention work in line with best practice, and takes part in clinical audit and quality improvement. It reports consistently strong QOF results and many enhanced services, and many staff have been with the practice for 10 to 15 years.
Training and progression
Three of the GP partners are GP trainers, and three partners and two salaried GPs trained at the practice before staying on or returning after qualifying. Clinicians have in-house educational sessions and monthly protected learning time, and salaried GP posts offer six weeks of annual leave and one week of study leave pro rata. The practice welcomes applications from newly qualified GPs.
