About us
We are in Fairford - a small rural town in Gloucestershire, close to the Oxfordshire and Wiltshire borders.
We are a friendly supportive team of around 35 people.
Hilary Cottage Surgery has been a part of the Fairford community for many years - currently run by 3 GP partners.
We are a small rural practice with around 7500 patients on our books. We have 7 amazing GPs, a bunch of amazing admin staff and secretaries, and a brilliant reception team. Our nurse team is fabulous, and there aren't enough superlatives to describe our incredible dispensing team, supported by our super pharmacists.
If you're not in Fairford, you would enjoy a short rural drive to and from the surgery - and if you are local you can walk to work.
With a focus on everyone's well-being at work, we are supportive and friendly from top to bottom, and (we think) a great place to work!
