The practice covers Wantage and Grove and the surrounding villages. The team consists of 8 doctors, 5 Nurses, 17 support staff and 11 attached community staff. Together we offer a comprehensive range of medical and preventative services for our 12,400 patients. It is our aim to provide the highest standard of medical care in a sensitive and flexible way.

The practice is a member of and accounts to the Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust. We are a PMS Practice (Personal Medical Services rather than GMS, General Medical Services), which, from the patients perspective, means that we are focused on providing high quality services.

We operate an appointments system that ensures patients may see a doctor or nurse within 24 hours. The majority of doctors' appointments are 'book on the day' but we do have appointments that can be booked up to four weeks in advance. In addition, nurses and blood test appointments can be booked up to a month in advance. We also offer telephone appointments and encourage the use of these wherever appropriate; the receptionist will advise you if you are unsure.

We have a very active and dedicated Patient Involvement Group that helps us plan for the future, ensure we keep in touch with the general views of our patients and help keep our patients informed of changes though the quarterly newsletter and meetings.

You will always receive a friendly welcome from our staff and be assured of total confidentiality.
