At the time of our inspection there were two GPs (1 x male, 1 x female), practice nurse and health care assistant. Clinical staff are supported by a practice manager, acting practice manager, locum practice manager and seven other staff in the reception and administration team.
When the practice is closed patients are directed to contact the out of hours provider Go to Doc via 111.
The age profile of the practice population is broadly in line with the CCG averages. Information taken from Public Health England placed the area in which the practice is located in the third most deprived (from a possible range of between 1 and 10). In general, people living in more deprived areas tend to have greater need for health services.
