Romney House Surgery is situated in the town of Tetbury in Gloucestershire. The practice is based in an extended and refurbished building with level access from the front and rear of the building. All the clinical rooms are on the ground floor.
The practice merged with another practice, based in Cirencester a town approximately 20 minutes away, in December 2016. GPs from the practice in Cirencester had joined the partnership at Romney House Surgery. Some of the partners for the previous partnership had left while others had remained as salaried GPs. GPs worked across the provider’s two practices which are registered separately.
The practice delivers its services under a General Medical Services (GMS) contract. (A GMS contract is a contract between NHS England and general practices for delivering general medical services and is the commonest form of GP contract) to approximately 7,800 patients at the following address:
41-43 Long Street
Tetbury
