About Eltham Medical Practice
Eltham Medical Practice is a GP partnership serving about 26,500 patients from three sites in Eltham: Passey Place Surgery at Eltham Community Hospital, Well Hall Surgery and Westmount Surgery. It is one of the largest GP practices in the Borough of Greenwich, is rated Good by the CQC and is a member of Eltham PCN with five other local surgeries.
The team includes GP partners, salaried and sessional GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, practice nurses, mental health specialists, healthcare assistants, phlebotomists, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, with first contact physiotherapists, care coordinators and a management team. As a training practice it hosts GP trainees and medical students.
How the team works
GP sessions combine booked appointments and triage, and GPs share a weekly on-call rota. A multidisciplinary team of advanced nurse practitioners, pharmacists, first contact physiotherapists, care coordinators and mental health specialists takes on work that would otherwise fall to GPs, backed by clinical and administrative support. GPs attend regular clinical meetings and practice learning activities, and can take on teaching, portfolio or leadership roles and contribute to service development according to their interests.
Growth of the practice
The practice grew from a family surgery founded by the Evans family in Eltham. After acquiring the Well Hall site it was renamed Eltham Medical Practice by 2003, moved its main surgery into purpose-built facilities at Eltham Community Hospital in 2015, and merged with Eltham Park Surgery and Westmount Surgery in 2019. An additional building took it to 12 clinical rooms, and it now works with five other local surgeries in Eltham PCN.
