About Us

We are an innovative and forward-thinking GMS practice with a Good CQC rating and a strong track record of delivering high-quality care to our patients. Serving over 20,000 registered patients with a growing list, we have a well-established team that includes six partners, and an extensive multidisciplinary practice team, including Nurse Practitioners, Emergency Care Practitioners, Clinical Pharmacist, Nurses and HCA as well as supportive Reception, Administration and Managerial teams. Our team also includes a fantastic group of well-integrated Primary Care Network (PCN) staff, such as Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians, First Contact MSK Practitioners, Health and Wellbeing Coaches, Social Prescribers and Care-Coordinators

We are proud to have been awarded the Quality Practice Award (QPA) twice and consistently achieve full QOF points wherever possible. We receive excellent patient feedback and score well on national patient surveys. We are passionate about both postgraduate and undergraduate training and are involved with GP registrar education and training Cambridge Medical Students.

Last year we were privileged to win GP Practice of the Year and Outstanding GP Tutor in the

Cambridge University GP Society Awards. One of our partners received Peterborough VTS Scheme GP trainer of the year award this year.

We prioritize telephone triage to streamline same day access to our Doctors and Practitioners and provide effective, patient-centered care, with consistently good feedback regarding access.

Using SystmOne, Ardens templates, AccuRx and Anima we work collaboratively across our practice team to ensure sustainable, innovative, and efficient service delivery.

We strive to ensure we are a supportive, caring environment for all members of the team and the patients that we care for.
