The present Danebridge Medical Practice was founded in October 1992 by the merger of two long established smaller practices, coinciding with the completion of the new Danebridge Medical Centre in Northwich. The practice area is large, covering Northwich and the surrounding villages. Danebridge Medical Centre is a modern, purpose-built surgery, offering a wide range of facilities and equipment to a very high standard. The practice also provides a local service for patients in Sandiway who prefer not to travel to the main surgery in Northwich. On the 1st of June 2005 we took over the running of Kingsmead surgery. Kingsmead surgery was established by the PCT (Primary Care Trust) in August 2004 in response to the pressures on GP practices in Northwich, due to the population growth.The PCT wanted to change how Kingsmead surgery was run day to day and wanted a well established existing GP practice to take this on. Our practice philosophy is to work together as a team to promote health as well as treating illness, and we believe that as a practice we offer a comprehensive, extensive medical service to our patients. Doctors who have worked in hospitals for a number of years come to work at the practice for a year before themselves becoming General Practioners. This is valuable work experience for them and also benefits us by simulating new ideas within the practice.
The Medical Centre is fully accessible for wheelchairs. There is parking for the disabled by the main doors. Special toilet facilities, with wide access doors, are available for patients in wheelchairs. |
