About us

Of our four sites, Endless Street and Three Swans are located within Salisbury. The villages of Porton and Winterslow host our branch sites and are on the outskirts of the city. Our Endless Street surgery is a listed building and therefore not suitable for renovation. However, the search for a suitable space to build a new central surgery is ongoing.

We provide a high level of care to our 24,000 patients from four sites within Salisbury and the surrounding area. We pride ourselves on being a friendly and supportive team with a reputation for excellence. We value enthusiasm as well as experience and welcome applications from both experienced applicants and passionate self-starters. The Practice team is made up of 8 Partners, and 10 salaried doctors supported by a comprehensive team of allied health professionals including a full complement of nursing, clerical and administrative staff. We are a training, teaching and active research practice which has received the only Outstanding CQC results in Salisbury.

The good name of the practice depends upon the achievement of a high standard of care in our work, and maintaining confidentiality and honesty in the conduct of that work. It is vital that at all times we ensure that we conduct our work in accordance with the highest standards. We are proud of our Practice and want people to join our team who are of the same philosophy.
