As a Practice we put patients at the heart of everything we do. We recognise patients as individuals with wants and needs and also as part of a family and the wider community. We aim to care for our patients whatever their problem may be in a compassionate and confidential manner.

As a Practice we want to embrace opportunities to deliver services based in the local community wherever possible.

The only way to deliver this is to have a motivated, well trained and supported health care team who are fulfilled in their work.

We recognise that the NHS has limited funds, so want to work with patients to prioritise and champion the services they need and to be able to set up new and innovative services.

We will work across regional and national organisations to ensure best care for our patients.
