Primary Care Network

Over recent years local GP surgeries have been working collaboratively as part of a Primary care network. We are linked to the North Dartmoor group and work together to try and improve services for our patients by working with local healthcare partners as well as community, voluntary and statutory services.

As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive care, we offer a range of additional services for our patients. These include access to a clinical pharmacist, Dietician and a First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) service.

1. Pharmacist - Ann Smith is with us every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and available for appointments to review medication and deal with queries. She will be supporting us with reviews and quality improvement work. (Direct Access)

2. First contact physio - (Joanne) We have on a Tuesday, an in house physio based in Cheriton Bishop. You are now able to get rapid assessment of musculoskeletal issues and onward investigations. (Direct Access)

4.     Dietician - Cathy is here one Monday a month and provides practical and personal advice on nutrition and diet

Enhanced Access 

We also provide Enhanced Access appointments, offering evening and weekend availability for all patients across our Primary Care Network (PCN). 

Patients in North Dartmoor can now book routine GP appointments during the evenings and weekends, making it easier to access care at a time that suits you.

This service is an extension of your usual GP practice, not a walk-in clinic -- so appointments must be booked in advance.

Local practices are working together to offer this enhanced access and ensure it meets the needs of our community.

If you are registered with our practice, you can book a routine evening or weekend appointment with any of the participating practices. To book, simply contact the practice directly. 

If you would like to be referred to any of these services, please contact your GP practice as you normally would. 

Any feedback around these services are gratefully received.
