Quality

We try hard to keep high standards in everything we do. The doctors have to have continual formal medical education totalling five days every year. In addition we have educational updates every Wednesday morning between 8-00 and 9-00 a.m. The nurses organise regular education sessions for all nurses in our Primary Care Group. We have an extensive library for the medical staff. 

Recognition of our Success

The best form of recognition for the Health Centre is the satisfaction of our patients and our own sense that we have been able to improve a patient's health and well-being.

However, it is also gratifying when the quality of your work is recognised by your fellow professionals and you receive an award. Our Health Centre has been regularly recognised in this way over recent years.
