Our practice ethos is to strive towards a partnership between patients and health professionals based
on the following:
Mutual Respect
We endeavour to treat all our patients with dignity, respect and honesty. Everyone at Newnham and
Westbury Surgery is committed to deliver an excellent service. We encourage patients to highlight
any discrepancies and to offer the same commitment in return.
Holistic Care
We treat patients and illnesses. This means that we are equally interested in the physical,
psychological and social aspects of your individual care.
Continuity of Care
Building and maintaining a strong relationship between doctors, health professionals, and patients is
essential to the way we work. This is especially so in the management of ongoing problems or longterm illness. In these circumstances we would encourage you to continue seeing the same health
professional and wherever possible we will facilitate this through our appointments system.
However, if you have a new problem, the doctor or nurse that you normally see is not available, or
you would like to see someone else then we would encourage you to see any of the doctors or
nurses at the practice.
Learning and Training
We believe in “life-long learning” and all the health professionals and administrative staff, undergo
an annual appraisal where the goals of the individual, teams and practice are discussed and
agreement reached on the way forward. Regular reviews act as a way of reinforcing effective
performance, highlight areas for improvement and recognise developing strengths.
We also recognise the benefit of supported learning for our patients and families in enhancing your
ability to manage and deal with both ‘self-limiting’ and long-term illnesses
