Its doctors, nurses and healthcare assistants provide appointments, long-term-condition reviews, NHS health checks, immunisations, minor surgery, antenatal care, asthma and COPD support, cervical screening and counselling referrals.
The practice emphasises continuity, with a usual doctor responsible for each patient while preserving the choice to see another doctor. A regularly meeting patient participation group helps shape changes to services.
