Rebuild General Practice
General practice has been in a crisis for many years. This is down to decades of neglect from successive governments and it is putting patient safety at risk.
We know that currently:
– There are 6 million more patients on the books;
– GPs carry out 400 million annual appointments;
– And 90% of NHS contact is in primary care
As GPs we want our patients to know – we’re on your side. We want to be there for you and your family whenever you need us. But this is getting harder and harder.

Non-urgent advice: Modern general practice with traditional values
We look after over 18,800 patients within our catchment area and we pride ourselves on our doctor/patient relationships and inclusivity. We have fought very hard to maintain our Personal List system. This means that every patient and family, has a named doctor from the moment of their registration who is responsible for co-ordinating their care. We believe that continuity of a doctor is key to good practice and delivering a high quality personal consultation remains the cornerstone of our care.
Rowden Surgery lies adjacent to Chippenham Community Hospital and provides an attractive and effective environment for patients and staff. All facilities for our patients are at ground level with easy access including a disability friendly car park.
