Our Core Values:

We are caring:

We put our patients at the centre of all that we do. We actively listen, notice, and respond. We respect and value our patients and staff. We are inclusive to all and do not discriminate. We thrive to create an environment that is open and transparent with consistent communication.

We are inclusive:

Diversity enhances innovation, improves performance, and enables general practice to be adaptable and resilient. By championing diversity, we enable our team to reflect and serve the need of our diverse patient population. We are committed to creating an inclusive society, where everyone can succeed, receive the healthcare services appropriate to them and live well.

We are empowering:

Our clinicians share information and knowledge with our patients to enable them to confidently participate in their own care and make informed decisions regarding their health. We believe that by educating our patients and explaining their healthcare effectively, will empower our patients to improve their self-care and prevent further illness. We use various mediums of communication to ensure that our patients always have access to useful and relevant healthcare information.

We are Professional:

We strive to achieve a high level of professional medical care for our patients and our community. Our staff (Clinical and Non-Clinical) undergo regular training to ensure we are compliant to NHS guidelines, and we strive to maintain this. Our workforce is who we rely on to reach success, and therefore we will continue to invest in our staff to ensure that our patients get the best care possible.
