This is a seven partner, innovative, town centre
practice in modern purpose built; leasehold premises
completed December 1999. The list size is
approximately 11,500. We have achieved the Investors
in People award, and scored highly in the Quality
and Outcomes framework (>1000points).
The practice is well equipped and fully computerised
– now paper-light. There is a practice manager and a
full compliment of attached staff including three
practice nurses who run asthma, COPD, hypertension,
diabetes and other clinics. One nurse is also
trained as a nurse practitioner and we have two
nurse prescribers. There is an employed counsellor
and attached CPN, midwives, physiotherapist and
health visitors.
Dr Boggis is a Course Organiser and trainer. The
practice also has links with undergraduate teaching
(Dr White) and has had pre-registration house
officer attachments and career start doctors. We are
an approved Research Practice
The on-call commitment for GP registrars is one day
per week from 7.45am until 6.00 pm with
Primecare/PCT cover in the intervening hours. As the
practice has opted out of providing out of hours
care, OOHs sessions for GP Registrars are undertaken
with Primecare. Registrars need to arrange these
session with Primecare direct.
The partners have a range of interests including
dermatology, family planning, audit, computing,
sports medicine and general practice research. The
practice is keen to promote personal development as
a means of continuing medical education and there is
an active program of peer appraisal and regular
educational events in the practice, which the GPR is
encouraged to join. Time is protected in the working
week for educational activities including
preparation for summative assessment and the MRCGP
and our GPRs enjoy a high success rate.
