Practice Information
A Learning Organisation
Learning is part of everything we do. It is how we continuously improve, and it’s how we develop the next generation of healthcare professionals.
We work with local universities, Heath Education England, and the GP Training Scheme deanery to offer placements at our practice. You may encounter GP Trainees, student Physician Associates, student nurses, and others from time to time. Find out more about trainees and students.
Veteran Friendly Practice
As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
- Have a clinical lead for veteran health, Dr Doig, who is supported by the whole Practice to improve veteran health services.
- Ask patients ‘Have you served in the Armed Forces?’ to help identify veteran patients
- Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
- Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients
- If you are a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs.
More than 1,400 practices are now veteran friendly accredited and a University of Chester study revealed that 99% of accredited practices would recommend the accreditation.

The Veteran Friendly Practices accreditation scheme is run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England.
