"Two-site NHS general practice and community-focused care in Torquay"
About Chilcote Surgery
Chilcote Surgery provides NHS general practice from its Dewerstone and Chatto sites in Torquay. Clinical services include long-term-condition reviews, screening, contraception, immunisations and everyday primary care. Its current website describes a medical team of eight GP partners and eight salaried GPs, alongside nursing, healthcare assistant and administrative colleagues.
The practice formed through the merger of the Dewerstone and Chatto practices and works within Baywide Primary Care Network. Its community work has included outreach clinics for homeless people. A patient participation group connects the practice with local needs, gathering feedback and suggestions to inform service development and improvement.
Learning across the practice
Chilcote hosts GP trainees, foundation doctors and medical students, with educational supervision provided by practice GPs. Staff learning also includes protected closures across both sites; the September 2026 notice announced an afternoon for essential staff training.
Supporting access to care
Nurses and healthcare assistants provide appointments for monitoring, preventive care and clinical procedures. Reception colleagues gather information about enquiries to help direct requests, while the prescription team offers a dedicated telephone line and online repeat ordering.
