Introduction to Surgery

Philosophy and Practice

Everyone working within the Practice is committed to the provision of high quality primary care for the benefit of our patients, whom we respect and value.

We strive to be an open-minded, friendly, caring and inclusive team.

Mission and Values

The Practice aims to deliver our philosophy by:

Providing readily accessible medical and preventative health care within a structured, efficient, open-minded and caring environment.
Encouraging the professional and personal growth of the whole team, clinicians and their support staff, promoting job satisfaction whilst maintaining financial viability.
Optimising the use of our resources, commensurate with the size of our very large Practice, creating opportunities not always available to Practices with a smaller list of patients. Our size and innovative approach enables us to encompass and evolve with an everchanging NHS.
Challenging preconceived ideas, leading to more efficient ways of working for the benefit of our patients.

Practice Background
Portsdown Group Practice covers the whole of Portsmouth from postcodes PO1 to PO7.

We operate from 6 surgeries:
Cosham Park House (PO6 3BG), Crookhorn Lane (PO7 5XP, Heyward Road (PO4 0DY),
Kingston Crescent (PO2 8AL), Paulsgrove (PO6 4HJ), and Somerstown (PO5 4EZ).

We are our own Primary Care Network (PCN).

We have Clinical Partners, Salaried GPs and a comprehensive Nursing and extended clinical team overseen by our Clinical Team Manager.

The team consists of Nurse / Paramedic Practitioners, Registered Nurses, HCA's, MSK Physiotherapists,
Podiatrist, Dietitians, Social Prescribers and Care Co-ordinators. The Pharmacy team consists of Clinical
Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Pre-Registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician and Prescription
Clerks.

The Practice is well established, financially secure and successful. Over the last few years, we have earned maximum QOF points.

Team Approach / Organisational Structure
Multi-disciplinary teams work across all sites.

Our organisational structure includes a Management Team, based at Kingston Crescent (Group
Business Director, Operations Manager, Business Intelligence Manager, Finance Manager, Clinical
Team Manager and Management Support Team) and a surgery team at each site.

We recognise that our team needs to work as a strong anchor chain within the community we serve.
Like a chain we acknowledge that every link has to be strong.

We achieve this by working together, supporting each other and continuously inviting team members to make suggestions aimed at providing efficient, safe processes for our patients.

Teaching, Training and Development

The Practice has a long history of training - we train GP registrars, student nurses and have pharmacy student placements.

We are committed to the ongoing development of the entire team, including mandatory and developmental training for all our staff.

Team members are encouraged to highlight any training they feel would benefit them in the achievement of their role. The Practice funds, via a
"learning agreement", any training which is felt will benefit the individual and the Practice.
