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
