The overarching Partnership organisation sits subtly in the background for the patient experience. Patients remain registered at one site from where they continue to receive their care. The key benefits of the WFHP organisation are the ability to sit behind the scenes offering knowledge, expertise, processes and systems together with the opportunity of resource sharing across all the sites.

Core

All six sites provide core general practice appointments with our multi-skilled doctors, nurses and Health Care Assistance from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday, alongside extended opening under the national enhanced service that covers some Saturday opening and some evening appointment.   

Enhanced Services

The partnership also provides specialist services such as in-house Pharmacist, Minor Operations, Wound Care, Mental Health Care and Counsellors as well as specialist long term condition clinics for patients with conditions such as Asthma and Diabetes.   We aim to provide continuity of care for our patients where possible. 

 Home Visiting Service

This service is now available in the majority of our sites and will soon be rolled out to all sites. The focus of the visiting service is to improve continuity of care for the patients who need it the most.  The aim is to have two to three Doctors, supported by an Advanced Nurse Practioner within each practice who do majority of the visits to patients at home or at nursing homes.   From the number of audits we have carried out in the sites that have adopted this so far, it is evident that by working this way we have significantly improved the continuity of care, as well as been able to manage the demand for visits.
