Compass Medical Practice is a GP practice for those who are

difficult to manage in mainstream practice. Patients are either consulted via

telephone/ video link or face to face. When a face-to-face appointment is

required, a risk assessment is undertaken to assess what support the clinician

requires. Consultations are supported with the use of patient liaison officers

and consultations are carried out in our mobile clinic van or in an agreed

prebooked venue.

Compass Medical Practice also provides medical cover to

temporary patients residing at Thornton House. These are short term patients

that are residing at Thornton house for either rehab, rest or recouperation.

There is a weekly ward round and multidisciplinary team meeting. Compass

Medical practice also offers medical support throughout the week, outside of

the ward round, during opening hours.
