The Practice ethos is that of a strong close-knit Practice team, maintaining high standards of patient care in

emphasis on continuity of care, personal doctoring and integrity in the workplace. A high level of

achievement under the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) targets demonstrates this commitment to

high quality healthcare.

The Doctors are keen and willing to give new ideas a try and are not afraid of change providing it does not

have a detrimental effect on the patients or current Practice team. The Partners work together to provide

the team with strong and effective strategic management. All Partners have a strong commitment to the

NHS remaining in public ownership.
