About the Surgery

Welcome to Garway Medical Practice

We are passionate about the care we provide and believe in primary care being about caring for the individual person. We aim to provide the highest standard of care at all times. We do this by working as a team - listening to each other, our staff and to you, our patients. In this way, we ensure we are being responsive to the community and local environment.

We have recently become part of a Primary Care Network where by we work in collaboration with 4 other practise to meet the local needs of our patients.

Our Vision Statement

Our vision is to provide high quality, responsive, flexible and person-centered services that are tailored around the diverse needs of the whole community. Our strapline ‘Primary Care for People’ summarises this commitment and sets our our underlying values and ethos.

Improving Access to Your GP Practice

West-Hill Health PCN and our practice as a member are committed to making it easier for patients to access the right care, at the right time, in the right way.

Over the past year, practices across our Primary Care Network have worked together to improve access, strengthen continuity of care and offer more flexible ways for patients to contact us. We will continue building on this work throughout the coming year.
