About The Practice

The practice comprises five partners, two full-time and three part-time, based in our extended and refurbished practice building with a small car park to the rear and main entrance on to Long Street. We practise here and also hold daily surgeries at Tetbury Hospital. Each partner provides a full range of general medical services. This means that we each deal with all areas of medicine. We are able to advise you and your family on most medical problems which you may encounter. If we feel you are in need of specialist services, we are able to arrange for appropriate referrals, both on the NHS and privately. We have strong links with many specialists at hospitals locally as well as further afield. We are fortunate in Tetbury because we have managed to bring many excellent specialists to provide services locally at Tetbury Hospital for your benefit. The practice building is furnished with a purpose-built minor operating room where we are able to undertake minor procedures.

We feel that continuity of care is important. When you need a doctor, please ask to see the doctor who you regard as “your own”. Planning a few days ahead for routine matters will usually enable you to see the doctor of your choice. However, we will always see urgent problems “same day” and in this case it may be necessary to see whichever doctor is available.

We now also offer on-the-day appointments, each day, for routine matters. You are, however, always free to change your 'usual doctor' to any other doctor in the practice. Simply state your preferance when making an appointment. We now have three male and three female doctors in the practice.

Training

We are involved in training both doctors and medical students. Each year there is a registrar with the practice, sometimes two, who are fully qualified doctors with extensive hospital experience, and who are spending their first year in general practice, supervised by one of the partners. As a confidential aid to this training process we do occasionally ask your permission to make video recordings of consultations. This is aimed at helping to improve young doctors’ consultation skills. If asked, you are, of course, at liberty to refuse to be videoed. All recordings are confidential and are subsequently destroyed.

Medical students from Bristol University spend two and four-week attachments in the practice from time to time. If a student is in attendance you will be informed before you go in to see your doctor. If this is not acceptable, you are, of course, free to request that the student leaves the room during the consultation.

Car park

The surgery car park is very small and space is limited. We need a large percentage of this space for clinicians - Doctors, District Nurses, Health Visitors etc - this leaves very little space for anyone else. It would be greatly appreciated if able bodied patients could park elsewhere in the town's car parks leaving the small amount of space for disabled patients.

Disabled Access

This is from the car park at the rear of the building. Disabled lavatory facilities are also available.
