About us
Our Health Centre was purpose-built in 1987 and is owned and maintained by the Partners. It has 21 clinical rooms, plus a large educational room and undergraduate training room, and an administrative wing which provides offices for our administrators, secretaries, and managers.
The practice has a shared belief in the delivery of high quality, patient-centred, and evidence based health care. Patients interests are kept to the fore and there is a strong emphasis on continuity of care and a commitment to continue developing patient services. Every patient and their family are allocated to a named GP upon registration. They are encouraged to see that GP for their routine care, though we understand that on occasions a patient may wish to see a different doctor about specific problems.
We are part of the Poplar & Limehouse Health & Wellbeing Network, along with 3 other local practices, which formed in 2006 to work collectively and improve health care provision in areas such as heart disease and diabetic care.
Partners have held external roles locally that complement the clinical work such as lecturer posts at Queen Mary University of London and leadership roles at the CCG and the Local Medical Committee.
We are also an Approved Training Practice for local GP training, for medical students from Barts & The Royal London.
