The practice is committed to the founding principles of the NHS, that it should be free to all.

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and friendly environment in which to work and one where all staff are encouraged to contribute to the development of the practice.

We are unique in taking both 5th year and 1st year graduate-entry course (GEC) medical students from Oxford and occasionally students from other medical schools.
