Radbrook
Green Surgery is situated on a housing estate built in the late 1970s to the
south of Shrewsbury town centre, close to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. The
community is well served with good primary and secondary schools close at
hand.
Radbrook Green surgery was built in 1989 when the practice relocated from
the town centre. The building was extended in 1997 in order to accommodate
the primary health care team, and enable other health care professionals to
run clinics from our premises. We enjoy working as a team and regularly have
joint meetings with our Health Visitors, District nurses, Practice nurses
and Receptionists.
We are a long established training practice. The Registrar is viewed as
supernumerary. They have their own consulting room, dedicated tutorial time
of at least 3 hours per week and leave to attend courses in addition to
holiday entitlement. (A video suite has recently been set up in the
Registrar's surgery to ease the technical difficulties of obtaining the
required videos for summative assessment and the MRCGP).
A former fundholding practice, we have now embraced the most recent NHS
development for general practice, known as a Personal Medical Services
Pilot. This enables us to develop the services required for our patients.
We are fully computerised. All appointments and patient records are held on
computer. We are now able to book hospital appointments over the NHS net.
We embrace and promote teamwork. Our primary health care team is based in
the Surgery and includes; four male and four female doctors,
three practice nurses, two health
care assistants, three district nurses, three health visitors and two
physiotherapists. We have a counsellor and a visiting chiropodist and
midwife.

We are a training practice. Doctors who have worked in hospital join our team for six or twelve months to gain experience in General Practice. We also have medical students with us, training for eight-week periods between September and April each year (click here for more information).
As part of their GP training, Registrars are required to video a number of consultations. The patient will always be asked, both at the beginning and end of their consultation, whether they are happy with this. The patient has the right to refuse.

All information concerning patients is kept entirely confidential and all members of staff at the Practice are aware of this.

We have computers to aid the efficient organisation of the Practice. All information held is subject to the 1998 Data Protection Act and is kept completely confidential to authorised users.
