We also launched an online platform called eConsult, where patients can contact us digitally. All our rooms are equipped with video calling and double screen monitors.

      We are active in the Bitterne Primary Care Network, with a partner having shared responsibility as a clinical director. Our PCN Education Environment Lead also helps to ensure staff opportunities to meet any personal development goals.

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
