About us
Were a close-knit, supportive team that prioritises continuity of care, clinician wellbeing, and high patient satisfaction. We all prefer face to face appointments to working in a call centre and this is generally a more effective way of managing the needs of our patient group, so almost all our appointments are face-to-face.
The Retiring GP has given the following statement - Working at Streamside is very different to the majority of GP practices nowadays. Its small size has its negatives of course. But that small size also means real relationships - with patients and colleagues, and a real concern for one as an individual from Sam. Its a workplace that puts people at its centre - a rare and lovely thing I think, particularly in the NHS. General Practice is a hard job, and harder now than ever, but Streamside is about as good as it gets - not perfect, but definitely better than most. I'm writing this because I feel passionately about my workplace home for the last 7 years
