Our Services

“In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught”- Baba Dioum

 

PHD has a long history of successful collaboration with hospitals and the professionals who work there.


This has meant providing a range of ‘hospital’ services in our local health centres instead. This benefits patients because they don’t have to travel to get their treatment and it offers a stimulating and rewarding working environment, for clinical and non-clinical staff, able to develop specialist skills and services.


We provide a wide range of clinical services at our practices, funded through the different contracts we have with our local PCTs. The variety of clinics on offer means that, for many of our patients, their local practice is a ‘one-stop shop’ for all their healthcare needs.

That’s good for patients, healthcare staff and PCTs because it means a more responsive and cost-effective service – allowing further investment for developing new services.
