Your working day will follow the BMA guidance on safe daily contacts, with an established blend of pre-booked and same day face to face and telephone appointments.

About us

We are a stable, supportive and very friendly training practice that has retained its family and patient-first ethos. We work from purpose-built premises that has been recently extended, in a colourful market town offering semi-rural primary care.

The practice is very successful and has a good reputation amongst the GP community both externally and internally as evidenced by strong staff retention.

We care for a registered population size of 14,000 served by 11 GPs, GP Registrars, Nurse Practitioners and a paramedic, a team of Practice Nurses and HCAs, physiotherapists, administrative, secretarial and reception.

Caring for the population of Glastonbury, Street and the surrounding villages offers a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse population that is passionate for the town and its rich history and culture. By offering a person centred and continuity of care approach, we can demonstrate quality outcomes, as defined by QOF, whilst also respecting the views and beliefs of the local community.

We undertake a formal and regular business planning cycle to ensure that we effectively manage the rapidly changing environment we are in, optimising opportunities for the practice and have a track record of innovation.
