2.Legal status of our service

Smallfield Surgery is a General Practice Partnership open to all patients living within our Practice boundary in Smallfield and the surrounding areas. We work in partnership with our patients and our Patient Participation Group (PPG) to provide care for our patient population.

We are a General Medical Services (GMS) Practice offering Primary care services for the diagnosis and prevention of disease. We help patients to manage their health and prevent illness. Our clinicians assess, diagnose, treat and manage illness. They carry out screening for some diseases and promote general health and wellbeing. Our clinicians act as a patient’s advocate, supporting and representing a patient’s best interests to ensure they receive the best and most appropriate health and/or social care. Our clinicians also provide the link to further health services and work closely with other healthcare colleagues. They may also arrange hospital admissions and referrals to other services and specialists and they link with secondary (hospitals) and community services about patient care, taking advice and sharing information where needed. They also collect and record important information from other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of our patient population.

Our clinicians are also involved in the education and training of doctors, practice staff and other healthcare professionals.

Smallfield surgery is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
