About us

We are proud of our caring ethos and the friendly and supportive environment within which our team works. We often receive feedback from our pool of regular GP locums about how much they enjoy working with us. They tell us how well we communicate with each other, something that is underpinned by our daily lunchtime clinical huddles.

We work collaboratively with the other 2 practices in Oswestry and operate from purpose-built premises with parking facilities for staff. We are rated Good by the Care Quality Commission. We provide the usual range of GMS primary care services and Locally Commissioned Services including coil clinics and phlebotomy.

We are also proud of the fact that we work together and support each other as a team to ensure that we all enjoy a sensible work/life balance. We offer our patients a choice of 15-minute face-to-face appointments or 10-minute telephone consultations and build in 30 minutes of admin time into each session. We were one of the first practices in Shropshire to introduce the role of GP Assistant and our GPs now wonder how they ever got through the working day without that support.

The practice is an active member of the North Shropshire Primary Care Network. We are an EMiS practice and have just switched our document management from Docman to Anima.
