The Integrated Care Partnership – incorporates 4 local practices:
The Old Cottage Hospital - Epsom
Fitznells Manor Surgery – Ewell
Stoneleigh Medical Centre – Stoneleigh
Cox Lane Surgery – Ewell.
Between them they have 32,000 patients, and this calls for tremendous team work.
The Integrated Care Partnership have worked constantly for the last 3 years to improve and deliver the highest quality of care to their patients, and this has been recognised and honoured with the partnership receiving The Quality Practice Award from the Royal College of General Practitioners.
This is the highest award the College gives, and has only been achieved by 108 other practices in the whole of England and Wales. The award is a quality accreditation process undertaken by Primary Health Care teams, and it recognises the commitment of the entire team – at all levels within the practice.
At the presentation ceremony at the Old Cottage Hospital, attended by the Mayor of Epsom, the award was given by Dr Nichols (FRCGP) and accepted by Dr Hills.
Dr Nichols reminded us all of how much the GP practice has changed over the years, and gave a personal recollection of the early days of the NHS. With the constant work of practices like the Integrated Care Partnership, we have certainly come a long way from those days.
And the teams work has not finished, even in these difficult times within the NHS, and especially in the current financial climate, their work continues to provide the highest quality care to you – their patients.
A very well deserved Congratulations to all at The Integrated Care Partnership.
