Statement of Purpose
Under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 every registered provider must have a statement of purpose.
Our Statement of Purpose which includes a standard required set of information about our service and describes:
- The provider’s aims and objectives in providing the service.
- The kinds of service provided.
- The health or care needs the service sets out to meet.
- The location where the service is provided from.
- Details from the provider, including their legal status, manager including the “address for service” for all registered persons.
Our Vision:
Our vision is that primary care in Sandy Lane Surgery & St Peter’s Medical Practice (Branch Surgery) will offer each local community a wide and flexible range of information, support and services to enable people to live happy healthy lives.
To do this, we must address several challenges. Increasing demand, difficulties in recruitment and retention, and funding that includes estates and IT are areas that need our attention.
This strategy is the baseline for joint working for the next five years. It outlines five priorities that will revolutionise general practice.
- We will improve patient access to care through innovative technology
- We will develop and retain an agile and engaged workforce, with a focus on multi-disciplinary teams to reduce pressures on services and improve outcomes for patients.
- We will take a population health management approach to improve health and wellbeing, and reduce health inequalities
- We will develop Primary Care Networks to provide more joined-up care close to home
- We will modernise our estates and infrastructure to support and enhance services.
Our Mission Statement:
To provide our patients with high quality, accessible care in a safe, responsive and courteous manner.
