General
Our practice has a reputation
for being very friendly. We have 7 partners in a PMS practice, in a
mixed area of Salford. There are 3 full-time partners (male), 2
three-quarter timers (female) and 2 half-time partners (female). Our
practice has been training Registrars since 1986, two of whom are now
partners.
We are fully computerized, ‘paperless’ and use InPractice ‘Vision’ software, scanning our records.
The Practice cares for about 12,500 patients across Salford including Pendleton, Swinton, Prestwich and Salford Quays. This includes about 3,500 Salford University students. Housing varies greatly from older ‘Coronation Street’ type terraces to the affluent Quays area, so we see a wide variety of people with quite different health needs.
We work from converted premises with great character, originally an old chapel. Students are seen at the University branch surgery on campus. We have many extra Primary Care personnel working with us including 4 nurse practitioners, several district nurses, midwives and others.
Services
We provide a full range of
services in our PMS contract, having weekly Primary Health Care Team
meetings with all clinical staff. Out of hours work is contracted out.
In-house clinics include child health, antenatal, diabetes, asthma,
alcohol team, drug team, welfare rights, psychology, counselling,
acupuncture, homeopathy, minor surgery and more. There is a
Chiropractic clinic next door.
