About us
Salus is a GP Federation which was formed by the local GP practices within North East Hampshire and Farnham. This includes practices located in Aldershot, Farnborough, Fleet, Farnham & Yateley. We hold several contracts supporting primary care to deliver services on behalf of those practices, helping them work better together and with other healthcare providers leading to improved patient services and developing new ones due to constant changes in the Primary Care environment.
We also assist practices with admin, operational and HR support and facilitate shared learning across localities. By engaging with the public, we also help ensure that services are designed and developed with patient and public involvement.
The staff at Salus Medical Services have a wealth of experience working in general practice and therefore a good understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced.
