Our care is defined by the values that all staff share and is summed up in the term "Excellent Care by Working Together". We believe that continuity of care helps to ensure high standards and therefore every patient has a named GP allocated to their care. 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. As a group the GPs are mutually supportive and non-hierarchical.

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.
